This study was conducted at a tertiary care centre of eastern Uttar Pradesh during the period of July, 2021to June, 2022 consisting of 96 children who were referred with suspected hearing loss. They underwent distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) testing. Out of 96 children who underwent DPOAE testing, 25 (26.04%) passed the test, 55(57.29%) had "refer" result in bilateral ears whereas 16 (16.67%) had "refer" result in either ear.
