Evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOEs) were recorded in a group of normally hearing neonates (n = 100 ears) to study the basic properties of EOEs and the parameters influencing them. The results obtained with EOE recordings were compared with those of behavioral screening investigations. The main properties of EOEs in neonates are: 1. EOEs can be recorded in 98% of the tested ears or neonates; 2. there were no statistically significant variations in EOE detection thresholds of neonates between the ages of 1 and 4 days; 3. no statistical difference in the EOE threshold was found between males and females; 4. all EOEs exhibited a broadband spectrum with high-component frequencies; 5. EOEs demonstrating narrowband frequency peaks super-imposed on the broadband component had detection thresholds lower than EOEs without narrowband frequency peaks. EOEs can be used as a screening test. The main clinical interest of this test is to detect the presence (i.e., normal auditory peripheral function) or the absence (i.e., pathological peripheral auditory function) of EOEs in response to a 30-dBHL click stimulation. The results of this study have important applications concerning the possible clinical use of EOEs for screening peripheral auditory dysfunction in neonates.
