“…Some studies have obtained TEOAEs in all normal ears tested; notably several studies by Bonfils and co-workers, of which Bonfils et al (1988a) and Bonfils et al (1988b) are representative, those of Vedantam and Musiek (1991) and Reshef et al (1993), being based on 131, 105, 100 and 61 normal ears respectively. Four studies have reported prevalence figures of 96%-97% (Probst et al, 1986;Stevens, 1988;Dolhen et al, 1991;Lutman and Saunders, 1992).…”

Transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) have been reported in several studies as absent in a small minority of normal ears. Other studies have reported TEOAEs in all normal ears. Differences between studies may arise directly from criteria for TEOAE identification, criteria for selection of normals, or statistically due to limited sample sizes. In order to understand and model cochlear processes involved in TEOAE generation, it needs to be known whether the presence of normal hearing leads automatically to generation of TEOAEs. The present study set out to establish in a large sample if any ears could be found that lacked TEOAEs despite normal hearing threshold levels (HTL). A total of 397 ears from highly co-operative adult subjects were examined, under laboratory conditions. Using cross-correlation between replicate nonlinear wave forms as the criterion, TEOAEs were present in of 99.2% of the sample (lower CI 98.1%). However, careful visual assessment of the recorded wave forms for the remaining ears did not unequivocally show absence of TEOAE characteristics in any ear with normal HTLs. Whilst TEOAE strength varies amongst ears, no clear evidence was found to show that TEOAEs can be absent when HTLs are normal.

“…In a study by Dolhen et al (1991), evoked OAEs were recorded in a sample of normal hearing adults and neonates. The probes were not fitted with rubber ear plugs but instead were closely fitted into the ear canal and held in place by adhesive tape if necessary.…”
