High-Frequency Hearing Loss Incurred by Exposure to Low-Frequency Noise,

Abstract

The following conclusions are made: (1) low-frequency noise produces permanent high-frequency hearing loss in chinchillas; (2) the human ear shows a similar pattern of temporary threshold shift; (3) the current damage-risk criteria may be inadequate and may require revision to deal with high-intensity, low-frequency noise.
