耳音響放射は聴覚障害を持つ新生児や、幼すぎて従来型の聴覚テストに協力できない子供に対する、簡単で侵襲的でないテストの基礎であり、臨床的に重要となっている。現在、多くの西側諸国が新生児に対する統一聴覚スクリーニングのための国家的なプログラムを有している。また、初期幼少期の児童に対する周期的聴覚スクリーニング プログラムにおいても耳音響放射テクノロジーが用いられている。全米聴覚評価・管理センター(英語: National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management)(NCHAM)によりユタ州立大学で行われた「初期幼少期児童に対する聴覚福祉計画」では、全米で幾百も行われた「初期幼児期教育セッティングにおける耳音響放射スクリーニング及びフォローアッププラクティス」が「初期ヘッドスタート計画」の助けとなったという優れた実例を示した。[9][10][11]この主なスクリーニングツールとして、クリック誘発による耳音響障害の存在のテストが行われた。耳音響放射は蝸牛に対する鑑別診断及び高次難聴(e.g.,聴覚神経障害)の診断にも役に立っている。
