Title Temporary threshold shift under long-term noise exposure
Original title Chōjikan sōon-bakuro ni yoru Temporary Threshold Shift [in Japanese]
Bibliographic information Mar. 1988, Vol.34, No.6, p.561-568. Illus. 14 ref.
Abstract Temporary threshold shift was measured 2 minutes after noise exposure (TTS2) in 17 subjects. High speed electric railway noise, car noise and aircraft noise were used as noise sources. TTS2 was measured hourly during 8 hours of exposure to each of these noises, and after cessation of exposure. TTS2 was not detected in the case of railway noise exposure. TTS2 at 4000Hz was observed after exposure to car and aircraft noise. TTS2 was recognized more frequently at 4000Hz than at 2000Hz.
