what are oae's in audiology
Otoacoustic Emissions Otoacoustic emissions (OAE’s) are low level, inaudible sounds produced by the outer hair cells of the inner ear (cochlea). OAE’s can either occur spontaneously or in response to clicks or tones.
Audiology is a challenging and expanding field involving the study of hearing and balance. As a healthcare profession, audiology also involves assessment, management and therapeutic rehabilitation of people with hearing and balance problems, and associated disorders.
