[Screening of deafness in the young child. Value, techniques and initial results of products of acoustic distortion].
Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions are otoacoustic emissions evoked by two pure tones called primaries and proposed in order to provide a frequency specific investigation of the cochlea. This paper first reports complete input-output functions of distortion-product otoacoustic emissions for conventional audiometric frequencies in a population of 35 neonates without any risk for cochlear function. Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions could be useful, in association with evoked otoacoustic emissions and comportemental audiometry, to precisely evaluate the peripheral auditory system in infants and neonates.
