Absolutely. Picture this: A parent concerned about their child’s hearing who brings the child into see him or her. In such cases, I have used otoacoustic emissions as a powerful diagnostic test. Instead of suffocating them with technicalities, I describe the process as a detective mystery. In my introduction, I describe how the inner ear’s reaction to sound can help identify early onset hearing problems by outlining some of its benefits. But it’s not just a simple test where all we do is unveil the secret of hearing health for ourselves.
