OAE Hearing Screener

The Welch Allyn OAE Hearing Screener measurement system performs otoacoustic emissions
tests. Using a combination of hardware and software, the Welch Allyn OAE Hearing Screener
produces a controlled acoustic signal in the ear canal and measures the resulting evoked
emission that is generated by outer hair cells in the cochlea. The system collects and averages
data samples until specified measurement parameters are achieved. For distortion product
otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs), the DP and noise floor amplitudes appear on the LCD. A pass
or refer result is assigned at the end of the test based on comparison of the patient’s OAE
response to normalized data. Users can view and analyze the results.

Hearing Screener
Detect hearing loss, prevent language disabilities, and improve patient outcomes with the OAE Hearing Screener, the child-friendly
hearing screener that's objective, accurate, and easy to use. By requiring minimal patient cooperation, the
OAE Welch Allyn Hearing Screener lets you precisely and objectively screen for hearing loss in newborns, infants, toddlers, preschool, and school-age children in just
seconds. And with simple, intuitive operation and clear, easy-to-understand "pass/refer" reporting in a portable design, the
OAE Hearing Screener effectively addresses many of the difficulties associated with conventional hearing screening.
Significant hearing loss can develop after the newborn period, so birth screening is not enough. Regular screening with a hearing screener is important throughout childhood.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all infants and children, in addition to universal newborn hearing screening, should periodically receive
objective screenings for hearing impairment through age 10. Designed to be safe and comfortable for use on children of all ages, the
OAE Welch Allyn Hearing Screener makes hearing screening simple, safe and accurate.
