| Popis: | Advanced instrumentation, technology, and training strategies have continuously evolved for identifying and monitoring noise-induced hearing loss in the workplace. For occupational purposes, mobile audiometric testing facilities equipped with computerized audiometers and staffed by certified technicians are used to simultaneously test multiple persons. This occupational model of audiometric threshold testing was used as part of a clinical project designed to assess the practicality of hearing screening for high school students. It appears that mobile threshold audiometry in the high school population is feasible, practical, and may be an economic approach to hearing-loss detection and monitoring in adolescents. |
