Title Prediction of auditory organ strength in workers exposed to noise with various frequencies
Original title Prognozirovanie ustojčivosti organa sluha rabočih v uslovijah vozdejstvija šuma različnyh častotnyh harakteristik [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Apr. 1987, No.4, p.36-39. Illus. 7 ref.
Abstract Recording of the acoustic impedance of mechanical structures of the middle ear, intratympanal muscle reflex and thresholds of the intratympanal acoustic reflex (AR) during intrasonic exposure, and studies of the fatiguing action of low-frequency industrial noise on the threshold of the acoustic reflex in workers showed that impedance audiometry can be used for predicting occupational hearing loss.
