DPOAE
Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) technology uses pairs of pure tones
presented in sequence to screen patients for cochlear hearing loss. Responses to the
stimulus are predictable and therefore can be measured via a microphone placed in the
patient’s ear canal.
TEOAE
Transient otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) technology uses a click stimulus to screen
patients for cochlear hearing loss. Responses to the stimulus are predictable and
therefore can be measured via a microphone placed in the patient’s ear canal. The
response is divided into frequency bands for assessment.
