Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions Measurement System. |

During the DPOAE test process
very soft sounds are measured by the probe placed in the patient's ear
canal. Since the test measures a physiologic event, no behavior response
is required from the patient. Therefore, DPOAEs can be recorded on
sleeping individuals or on patients who cannot reliably perform a pure
tone audiometic test of hearing either because of illness, language barrier,
developmental delays or cognitive deficits.
