English term

"absent at all"

English to Spanish Medical Medical (general)
A test of Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) indicated his right ear was *present at all* and left ear was *absent at all*, except 1.5 and 4.0kHz, “absent DPOAEs can correlate with cochlear outer hair cell loss and subsequent hearing loss as a result.

The test results indicate that the individual has:
Normal hearing in the right ear, as DPOAEs are present at all frequencies.
Hearing loss in the left ear, as DPOAEs are absent at most frequencies, except for 1.5 and 4.0kHz. This suggests outer hair cell loss in the cochlea, which may lead to permanent hearing loss if left untreated.
In simpler terms, the test shows that the person's right ear is functioning normally, but their left ear has some damage that could lead to hearing loss. The absence of DPOAEs in most frequencies indicates a problem with the outer hair cells in the cochlea, which are essential for hearing.

Explanation: The term "absent at all" in the context of DPOAE test results means that no distortion product otoacoustic emissions were detected at any frequency, indicating a potential issue with outer hair cell function in the cochlea.
Example sentence: "The DPOAE test showed that the patient's left ear had absent emissions at all frequencies, except 1.5 and 4.0kHz."
