Detection of hearing loss in young children and adults using otoacoustic emissions.

Measures of transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) reproducibility were obtained for 506 ears of 260 children and young adults. Frequency-specific and whole reproducibility data were obtained using ILO88 hardware and software (version 3.92), and were analyzed with respect to pure tone threshold and emmittance data for the same ears.
