Introduction The paramount goal for subjects with sensory-neural hearing loss is to make as precise a distinction as possible among the different sites in the sensory system where a casual lesion may lie. The usual tests of conventional audiometry· viz., pure tone sensitivity measures; tests of recruitment and abnormal tone decay; Bekesy audiometry; speech audiometry; stapedius reflex measureme...

noise is a type of energy when exceeds t.l.v., it can cause hearing loss, especially in working environments. as factory workers are at high risk of noise, the present study evaluated the bistoon tile factory workers hearing losses. in this analytical cross-sectional study, workers’ noise leq were calculated according to i.s.o. standards and their audiometry results were derived from their heal...

Computer-based audiometry allows for novel applications, including remote testing and automation, that may improve the accessibility and efficiency of hearing assessment in various clinical and occupational health settings. This study describes the validity of computer-based, diagnostic air and forehead bone conduction audiometry when compared wtih conventional industry standard audiometry in a...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of personal listening device use on hearing in young listeners. METHODS Conventional frequency audiometry (0.5-8 kHz) and extended high-frequency audiometry (10-20 kHz) were performed on 120 personal listening device users and 30 normal-hearing young adults. RESULTS The hearing thresholds in the 3 to 8 kHz frequency range were significantly increased in ...
