[Comparative study of evoked otoacoustic emissions and auditory potentials of the brain stem in the neonatal period].
Evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAE) are a recently discovered technique that is related to a good audiological status. It is a quick, simple and harmless test that can be used in neonatal screening. We report and compare here the results from a series of neonates in which we have performed both, this test and a brainstem response (ABR) test. The correlation between techniques was good, especially in normal positive neonates where the correlation was 100%. However, EOAE only explores the cochlear status and will not detect retrocochlear pathologies.
