The 11 pages that link to Otoacoustic emissions, each with the reason it gives.

• CochleaRelated: Its presence provides evidence that cochlear outer hair cells are functioning.

• Sensorineural hearing lossRelated: Their presence or absence helps assess outer hair-cell function.

• AudiometryCompared with: They provide an objective cochlear check without requiring a response to heard tones.

• TinnitusCompared with: These are real, measurable sounds, unlike the perceived sound that defines tinnitus.

• OtotoxicityRelated: Their decline can indicate outer hair-cell dysfunction before standard thresholds change.

• Auditory nerveCompared with: It assesses outer hair-cell function, complementing tests of neural response.

• TympanometryCompared with: Middle-ear status affects these measurements, but they assess cochlear function rather than pressure.

• AudiologyRelated: Their presence provides evidence about outer hair-cell function.

• Auditory brainstem responseCompared with: Cochlear emissions help distinguish outer-hair-cell function from neural response abnormalities.

• Acoustic traumaRelated: Their reduction can reveal outer hair-cell dysfunction after noise exposure.

• Inner earRelated: Their presence offers a noninvasive check of cochlear function.
