title: Acoustic emission cochleography--practical aspects.
abstract: Otoacoustic emissions are discussed as a means of objectively examining cochlear status. Practical uses of otoacoustic emission recording are reviewed, and the technical requirements of a clinical test are discussed. Details are given of an advanced cochlear echo test procedure, and results from normal and hearing impaired ears are discussed. Finally the alternative technique of distortion product analysis is discussed and results are given.
