Event. Mastering Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAEs)

This course is designed to equip participants with the theoretical and practical understanding of how to perform TEOAEs.

Lesson 1: What are TEOAEs? (60 minutes)

Learning objectives

• Explain why OAEs are important
• Describe how TEOAEs are generated and recorded
• Describe the difference between DPOAEs and TEOAEs and when/why you would choose one over the other
• Describe the clinical utility of OAEs in different patient populations

Lesson 2: Performing a TEOAE measurement (45 minutes)

Learning objectives

• List the steps involved in performing a TEOAE measurement
• Describe how to select a suitable probe fit for a TEOAE measurement
• List the different parameters that can be selected for stopping criteria within a TEOAE measurement

Lesson 3: TEOAE results and interpretation (45 minutes)

Learning objectives

• Describe the different elements of a recorded measurement that indicate whether a TE response is present
• Describe how to access different results component views with the OAE software
• Describe key quality indicators within a TEOAE result

Course presenters

Amanda Goodhew

Amanda holds a Master's degree in Audiology from the University of Southampton. She has extensive experience holding senior audiologist positions in numerous NHS hospitals and clinics, where her primary focus has been pediatric audiology. Her specific areas of interest include electrophysiology (in particular ABR, ASSR and cortical testing), neonatal diagnostics and amplification and the assessment and rehabilitation of patients with autism and complex needs. Amanda has a particular interest in pediatric behavioral assessment and has twice held the Chairperson position for the South London Visual Reinforcement Audiometry Peer Review Group. Amanda also works as an independent technical assessor for the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, undertaking quality assessment for audiological services throughout the UK, and provides guest lecturing services to universities both in the UK and abroad.

Dr. Peter Bray, Ph.D.

After obtaining a Medical Physics degree, Peter Bray worked for 5 years as a researcher in David Kemp's team at University College London. This led to a PhD in Biophysics and the design of the ILO88 TEOAE instrument. The following 25 years were spent providing R&D services at Otodynamics designing TEOAE and DPOAE instrumentation. Then, in 2014, Peter joined Interacoustics as an OAE specialist and data scientist working on the full range of OAE topics in addition to ASSR screening technology.

Leigh Martin

Leigh Martin is a British Audiologist and adjunct lecturer at the University of Cork, Ireland. Clinically, he has worked in the National Health Service specializing in paediatric audiology as well as vestibular diagnostics and rehabilitation. Leigh has also sat on the board of directors for the British Academy of Audiology. Since 2013, Leigh has supported the growth and development of the Interacoustics Academy and holds the position of Global Manager of the Academy. Leigh has presented at numerous scientific conferences and meetings across a diverse range of audiological topics as well as having published papers in both video head impulse testing (vHIT) and wideband tympanometry.
