Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) are usually evoked with air conduction (AC) stimuli. Only a few reports exist about OAEs where stimuli have been delivered using bone conduction (BC) by placing a bone conductor on the forehead or the mastoid. The aims of the present study were to improve the test performance of @entity79 by using a nonlinear stimulation protocol and to find out, whether this technique can be applied in newborn hearing screening. @entity79 were measured binaurally in ten normal hearing adults and in ten @entity1 . For measurements in @entity1 , miniaturized probes without loudspeakers were constructed to allow a complete insertion of the probe in the @entity1 's ear canal. It could be shown that robust and valid @entity79 can be elicited using a nonlinear stimulation protocol. Findings in adults indicated that @entity79 can be measured with properties similar to AC-TEOAEs. However, mean BC-TEOAE levels were reduced by 0.8-3.7 dB depending on frequency. In view of test time, this is compensated by performing binaural recordings. Measurements in @entity1 indicated that the screening performance of @entity79 and AC-TEOAEs may be comparable. Further studies have to investigate, whether @entity79 are more robust than AC-TEOAEs against small conductive @entity393 .
