Longitudinal Study of Human Hearings: Its Relationship to Noise and Other Factors. 1. Design of Five Year Study; Data from First Year

Abstract

A serial study has begun of auditory thresholds in children aged 6-17 years. These thresholds have been related to noise exposure, otological findings, recreational habits and general health. Data from the first year show that thresholds tend to be lower in older children although they had more noise exposure. The increase in noise exposure with age is particularly marked in the boys.
