title: Detectability of transient and sinusoidal otoacoustic emissions.
abstract: An analysis is presented of the detectability of the two types of otoacoustic emissions being considered for use in clinical tests of hearing. It is estimated that, for equal emission levels and equal probability of error, measurement of distortion-product emissions can be made at least 30 times faster than transient-evoked emissions using current techniques.
