Transitory evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) in a child with profound hearing loss.
The case of a 3-month-old, prematurely born boy with auditory brainstem response (ABR), verified profound hearing loss and normal transitory evoked otoacoustic emission is presented. Isolated retrocochlear deafness which did not influence TEOAE is hypothesised as a possible cause. The critical evaluation of results when using TEOAE as a screening method is suggested.
