Otoacoustic
Emissions (OAEs)
Otoacoustic emissions are sounds that are produced by the cochlea (outer hair cells) and can be measured in the ear canal. When sound passing through the ear canal reaches the cochlea, the vibration stimulates thousands of tiny hair cells. This creates a byproduct that can be detected and measured: otoacoustic emissions.
OAEs only occur in a normal cochlea with normal hearing sensitivity. If there is damage to the outer hair cells, which produces hearing loss, then OAEs will not be present. In general, OAEs will be present if hearing is at 30 dB or better.
PASS test results mean OAEs were detected. If there is damage to the outer hair cells producing a mild hearing loss, OAEs may not be present. The test result is REFER and the patient may be at risk for possible communication handicaps and can benefit from further diagnostic assessment.
The
Maico EroScan is a tool that can fit any practice.
-
Test both ears in less than a minute
Both screening and diagnostic testing generally takes 10 to 30 seconds per ear. -
Results are displayed as PASS or REFER
No need for interpretation. The equipment is automated and will provide easy-to-read and easy-to-interpret results. Trained staff can perform the test. -
Test is completely objective
No response from the patient is necessary. Easily test non-cooperative or non-English-speaking patients. -
Print the results
The thermal printer prints the test results as soon as you replace the unit in its cradle. -
Accurate results
The patented EroScan noise algorithm allows for reliable testing in up to 70 dB of background noise - fewer false REFER results.
Reimbursement
Otoacoustic emissions are reimbursable using the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. To date, health care reimbursement has varied in terms of cost per test but no problems have arisen if the appropriate codes are utilized. The most typical CPT code for OAE screening is: 92587 - Evoked OAE: limited
Average reimbursement per test -
$51.00
