An otoacoustic emission (OAE) system is a battery-powered diagnostic tool used to assess inner ear function by measuring faint sounds produced by hair cells in response to auditory stimuli. Clinically, these systems help identify hearing deficiencies, particularly in newborn screening or audiological evaluations, by detecting absent or reduced emissions that indicate potential hearing loss.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied as portable kits, including a main unit, probe, and disposable eartips, and may be combined with complementary audiological tools for expanded testing capabilities.
