Correlation of transiently evoked to distortion-product otoacoustic emission measures in healthy children.

Objective: Transiently evoked (TEOAEs) and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions at the 2f1-f2 frequency (DPOAEs) are being used as a clinical tool for diagnosis of peripheral auditory pathology. Because both tests are fast and non-invasive, they may be an excellent method for hearing screening in infants and children. The purpose of this study was to compare the TEOAE and DPOAE measures obtained in a group of healthy children.
