Evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAEs) were recorded twice in 20 ears of 15 newborns. The recordings were performed in a room of the well baby ward, using the ILO88 in its default setting, i.e. with click stimulation. On the first test occasion, the infants were between 3 and 51 h of age, and EOAEs were identified in 10 ears. On the second test occasion, while the infants were at least 1 day older (range 42-107 h), EOAEs were present in all ears. The second EOAE was stronger, so the EOAE appeared to grow in the first days postpartum. This might be due to middle ear clearance of amniotic fluid, shortly after birth. The results of the EOAEs of the second examination were compared with 10 EOAEs in adult ears. The response levels of the newborns were significantly higher than in the adults. The (cross)-correlation peak value of the two tests' waveforms is over 0.75, however sometimes only after filtering around the most pronounced emission frequencies. The study proves that newborns failing the EOAE screen in the first 24 h after birth can pass if retested 1 day later, simply because of growth of EOAE strength.
