Sensitivity and specificity of linear and nonlinear transient-evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) recordings in identifying personal listening device-exposed individuals with 95% confidence intervals (CIs)
| Sensitivity | 95% CI | Specificity | 95% CI | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group II | Linear TEOAE | 14.40% | 8.3–22.67 % | 100% | 96.52–100 |
| Nonlinear TEOAE | 42% | 32.68–52.39 | 92% | 85.4–96.6 | |
| Group III | Linear TEOAE | 75% | 65.55–82.97 | 100% | 96.52–100 |
| Nonlinear TEOAE | 94% | 87.87–97.85 | 92.30% | 85.40–96.62 |
