Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) are found in most healthy ears, and can be used to measure the health of the cochlear structures and feedback mechanism. According to existing literature, right ears tend to exhibit greater numbers of SOAEs than left ears (Bilger et al., 1990) and females tend to show higher incidence of SOAEs than males (Moulin et al., 1993). The SOAE prevalence has not been extensively studied in children with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), a disorder with unknown etiology that reduces one's ability to process auditory information. This study examined the prevalence and ear advantage of SOAEs between genders in children diagnosed with APD. SOAEs were investigated in 19 children (7 girls and 12 boys) with APD and 2 4 typically developing children (14 girls and 10 boys) aged 7-12. Right ear advantage was more prevalent in control (71%) than APD subjects (42 %). However, over 30% more females exhibited a right ear advantage than males in each group. Although the results are not significant, our findings indicate that the lack of right ear advantage for SOAE is more prevalent in children with APD, particularly in males, suggesting that cochlear mechanisms or their control might be somehow affected in APD.
