Hearing Conservation: Intense Acoustic Stimulation and Noise Susceptibility in the Military Environment

Abstract

The technical objectives of this study were: (1) Assessment of current hazards to hearing and of current hearing conservation practices in the field; (2) Resolution of certain questions regarding past studies of temporary threshold shift; (3) Determination of the hearing capacities of those currently in the military or likely to be, comparison of those capacities with those of analogous groups in years past, and assessment of the practical significance of any changes observed; (4) Measurements of changes in auditory characteristics other than absolute intensive threshold, following noise exposure; and (5) Development of indices of susceptibility to permanent hearing loss.
