[Deafness screening in children by otoacoustic emissions. Current data].
Hearing impairment should be detected in early childhood. Among available screening techniques, acoustic oto-emission testing is a rapid, reliable, noninvasive method which specifically investigates peripheral hearing but does not provide data on auditory nerve centers. This functional test should be carried out within a few days of birth in infants with risk factors for hearing impairment.
