The purpose of this research was to obtain the sensitivity and specificity of transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) screening procedures compared with conventional audiometric pure-tone screening and tympanometry.

Pass/refer values were obtained from a group of 297 ears of 152 preschool and school-aged children, 3 to 8 years of age. The sensitivity and specificity of the TEOAE screenings compared with the pure-tone screenings were 81% and 95%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of TEOAE screenings compared with tympanometric screenings were 60% and 91%, respectively.

Key Words: TEOAEs, neonatal hearing screening, hearing impairment
