Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Madsen® Alpha OAE+ is a device designed for otoacoustic emissions (OAE) screening, particularly in children. It aims to make the process engaging and efficient, facilitating early detection of hearing loss.

Importance of Hearing Screening
Periodic hearing screening is crucial for early detection of hearing loss, which affects 6-7 per 1000 children. Early intervention can lead to better language development and academic success. The Madsen® Alpha OAE+ provides objective information about cochlear function, which is essential for diagnosing hearing issues.

Features of Madsen® Alpha OAE+
  • Intuitive touchscreen interface that is user-friendly and engaging for children.
  • Offers both entertaining video options and traditional OAE screens to reduce fidgeting during tests.
  • Fast and cost-effective assessment of cochlear function.
  • Seamless report transfer to PC via docking station.

Clinical Significance of Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs)
OAEs are sounds produced by the cochlea's outer hair cells, measurable in the ear canal. They provide critical information about cochlear integrity but do not directly test hearing.

Benefits of Using Madsen® Alpha OAE+
  • Provides objective hearing information.
  • Convenient for patients and creates additional revenue streams for clinics.
  • Expedites the referral process and reduces unnecessary referrals.

Compliance and Standards
The device meets the requirements for CPT code 92587, which involves limited evaluation of otoacoustic emissions.

Conclusion
The Madsen® Alpha OAE+ is a comprehensive tool for hearing screening, offering a blend of efficiency, engagement, and clinical accuracy, making it a valuable asset in pediatric audiology.
