Otoacoustic Emissions Testing to Identify Hearing Loss in the ICU: A Feasibility Study
OAE testing is a feasible method to screen for hearing loss in the ICU, including in nonparticipatory patients. Identification of hearing loss would facilitate improved communication through interventions such as amplifiers and accommodations. Future studies should evaluate whether identification and treatment of hearing loss in the ICU may reduce delirium and improve post-ICU recovery.
