[Otoacoustic emission evaluation in patients with tinnitus]. / Badanie otoemisji akustycznych u chorych z szumami usznymi.

Analysis of otoacoustic emission is highly objective, noninvasive and sensitive method representing cochlear function. In The Centre of ENT Rehabilitation in Poznan more than 900 patients were evaluated because of tinnitus. Standard tests were broaden by otoacoustic emission (SOAE, TEOAE, DPOAE) and results are discussed. Our results suggest that otoacoustic emission is possible to record in normally or with moderate hearing loss patients. 18 patients had SOAE. Only 2 patients had the same frequency of SOAE and tinnitus.
