Oae Screening System

The measurement of otoacoustic emissions is a critical element in the evaluation of the cochlea's functionality in the field of audiology. It is also a measurement method that is globally recognized for the purpose of newborn hearing screening. Nevertheless, the environmental noise floor significantly influences the speed of the measurement and the reliability of the diagnosis. Frequently, the high ambient noise in newborn stations and incubators prevents the performance of such measurements. The reason is a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is too small, resulting in a low specificity of the measurement.input:
output:The Active-Noise-Reduction system, which is a recent development, also records background noise, enabling the user to directly and individually adjust the OAE measurement to the environmental noise.input:
output:Advantages of the method in comparison to traditional OAE methods:input:
output:The ambient noise's influence is significantly diminished.

The measurement results are highly reproducible.

Reduced artifact rates facilitate faster measurement.
