Otoacoustic emission (OAE) testing offers a fast, objective method for neonatal auditory screening. This approach is best used as a risk factor detector, not a definitive hearing test, due to low hearing impairment incidence.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Neonatal screening
  • Otoacoustic emissions

Background:

  • Otoacoustic emission (OAE) testing is a suitable objective screening method for neonatal hearing.
  • The speed of OAE testing enables widespread neonatal screening programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review considerations for applying OAE testing in neonatal screening.
  • To discuss the future role of OAE testing in audiology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and practical considerations.
  • Analysis of data from a pilot whole-population neonatal screening project.

Main Results:

  • OAE testing's speed is crucial for general neonatal screening.
  • Pilot project highlights practical challenges and high false-positive rates.

Conclusions:

  • Rapid, whole-population neonatal OAE screening is more appropriate as a risk factor detector than a definitive hearing test.
  • This approach addresses the low incidence of hearing impairment and ethical concerns of early misdiagnosis.
