Hearing threshold shifts among 11 − 35 year olds with early hearing impairment.
Abstract
Data obtained from the clinical records of selected 11-to 35-year-olds with
preadult onset hearing impairment were analyzed with two primary aims: (1) to determine
the incidence of hearing threshold level (HTL) shift in this cohort and, (2) to examine the
relationship between HTL shift, whole-of-life noise exposure and other factors.
