title: [Assessment of otoacoustic emission usefulness for early detection of hearing impairment caused by noise].
abstract: 74 miners, aged 19-35, exposed to industrial noise were examined by means of otoacoustic emission (TEOAE). The group was divided into 3 subgroups depending on the time of noise exposure. Significant weakening of otoacoustic emission in all subgroups was observed, even in subgroup with the shortest time of noise exposition and normal audiogram. The results were confirmed by others authors. Otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) could be very useful in early detection of hearing impairment cause by noise. 74 miners, aged 19-35, exposed to industrial noise were examined by means of otoacoustic emission (TEOAE).
