NEW PERSPECTIVES IN HEARING ASSESSMENT: PART 2. APPLICATION OF DISTORTION PRODUCT ОTОACOUSTIC EMISSIONS IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF HEARING LOSS - STEP B (GUIDELINES AND IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF DIAGNOSTIC DPOAE MEASUREMENT)

The series, titled "New Perspectives in Auditory Assessment,"includes bulletins that analyze the main testing procedures fordiagnostic evaluation of auditory function in children and adults.This is step B… the third in a series of bulletins that focus on theimportance of evidence-based hearing assessment for making anaccurate audiological diagnosis. The focus is on the application ofdistortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) in the diagnosis ofhearing loss. A subsequent paper… step C, will discuss the relationshipof DPOAEs with pure tone audiometry, along with clinical applicationsof DPOAEs
