Dr. Prabir Kumar Saha, Dr Sankari Roy, Dr. Vikramjit Singha

Abstract :

 Heå impairment is a major problem worldwide, significantly delaying acquisition of speech in children. Unfortunately delayed detection of heå impairment especially in developing countries, adds a significant burden on the society and the nation. Hence early detection of heå impairment is imperative and the need of the hour lies in developing an easy, cost effective and reliable method for testing large number of infants, Otoacoustic Emissions(OAEs) being one such test. The objective of this study was to asses the effectiveness and utility of Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) as a screening tool for assessment of heå impairment in infants and to assess the relationship between selected risk factors and heå loss.1
