Bilateral evoked otoacoustic emissions in a child with bilateral profound hearing loss.
Recording of bilateral evoked otoacoustic emissions in a 3-year-old girl with bilateral profound hearing loss is presented. No component of auditory-evoked brain stem potentials was recorded. Findings on computed tomography of the inner ear were within normal limits. At retest 3 months later, these results were unchanged. Explanations for this particular condition are presented together with a review of the literature.
