Abstract

This paper presents a study investigating the relationship between tympanometry measures of the middle ear and Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) screening, suggesting that using a combination of the two methods in pediatricians’ offices would result in fewer inappropriate referrals for comprehensive hearing evaluations.
