Research abstract
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal responds to the NIDCD special solicitation RFA-DC-12-004 for improving access to hearing healthcare. In particular, the NIDCD is seeking solutions to lower the cost of hearing healthcare and improve accessfor underserved populations (such as the disabled and communities with limited resource access). Technologies that achieve the initiative objectives include telehealth technologies for remote evaluation and monitoring, devices for in-home monitoring, mobile and portable assessment systems, and devices that do not require special training and can operate in low-resource environments. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) offer many advantages over other forms of hearing assessment: they are a sensitive objective screening tool with good test-retest reliability for screening; they can be used with children and adults of all ages; and they are a fast, efficien computerized screening method. However, DPOAE measurement systems tend to be signif
