Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) is a quick, painless, and non-invasive hearing test used to evaluate the function of the inner ear (cochlea). It is commonly performed for newborns, infants, children, and adults to detect hearing loss at an early stage. At Geetha Hearing and Speech Clinic, we use advanced OAE technology to provide accurate hearing screening and support timely diagnosis and intervention.
An OAE test is recommended for individuals of all age groups, especially newborns and young children who cannot respond to conventional hearing tests. It is also useful for adults who require an objective assessment of cochlear function.

The OAE test is simple, comfortable, and usually takes only a few minutes. A small soft probe is placed inside the ear canal, which delivers gentle sounds and records the response produced by the inner ear. The procedure is completely painless and is often performed while babies are asleep or relaxed.
