Comparing the sensitivity and specificity of otoacoustic emission screeners in diagnosing noise-induced hearing loss from air conduction pure tone audiogram in a hearing conservati... by Razali , Ailin, A. Rahman, Nor Azlina

“…It is not an objective test, it is time consuming, it needs trained technician and a sound-proof room (or at least a very quiet ambience) and it is deemed not sensitive enough to detect subtle changes in the cochlea due to early exposure to noise as it assesses the whole auditory pathway and not just the cochlea, where damage from noise mainly occur. A likely alternative would be otoacoustic emission (OAE), an objective test that measures the emission of outer hair cells which ideally would reflect early damages from sound, and takes only fraction of the time to do PTA to complete. …”
