ResumoEvoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAEs) and spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) were compared between neonates and adults. Several differences were seen for EOAEs: (i) the occurrence of EOAEs was significantly greater in adults than in neonates, and in neonates it increased with extra-uterine age; (ii) the high frequency EOAE intensity was greater in neonates than in adults; (iii) the EOAE intensity was significantly greater in neonates than in adults. No age-related differences for SOAEs were found: (i) age was not significantly related to the presence/absence of SOAEs in neonates or adults; (ii) the occurrence of SOAEs was, however, significantly greater in females than in males in both neonates and adults.
