Oto Acoustic Emissions

Aarna Hearing Speech & Vertigo Clinic uses Oto Acoustic Emissions (OAE) testing to assess inner ear (cochlear) function with unmatched precision. This quick, non-invasive test is especially valuable for newborns, infants, and individuals who cannot participate in conventional hearing tests. During the procedure, a tiny probe is placed in the ear canal to measure sound waves produced by the inner ear in response to auditory stimuli. These emissions reflect the health of the outer hair cells in the cochlea, helping identify even subtle forms of hearing loss. OAE is an important part of universal newborn hearing screening programs and is also used to monitor ototoxicity and noise-induced hearing loss. At Aarna Hearing Speech & Vertigo Clinic, we rely on OAE testing for early detection, which can significantly enhance the success of auditory and speech development. Trust our experts to ensure your or your child’s auditory system is functioning optimally from the earliest stages of life.
