Title Can tinnitus in noise-induced hearing loss be assessed?
Original title Si possono obiettivare gli acufeni nelle ipoacusie da rumore? [in Italian]
Bibliographic information Nov.-Dec. 1984, Vol.75, No.6, p.443-449. Illus. 17 ref.
Abstract 10 workers in a rubber factory, suffering from moderate acoustic trauma, had their hearing tested. The 3 workers who reported tinnitus had, on the whole, a different latency/intensity relation in their Auditory Brainstem Response from the 7 workers who reported no tinnitus. This suggests that a subjective assessment of tinnitus might be possible.
