Understanding Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs)
OAEs are sounds produced by outer hair cell activity in the cochlea, measurable in the ear canal of healthy ears. They provide information about cochlear integrity but do not directly test hearing.

Meets the requirement for CPT code 92587 What are Otoacoustic Emissions? Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are sounds measurable in the ear canal of normal, healthy ears, produced by outer hair cell activity in the cochlea. These sounds are small but can be measured with a tiny microphone. It is important to note that otoacoustic emissions do not actually test hearing. OAEs are clinically significant in that they provide information about the integrity of the cochlea and outer hair cell function.
