Abstract :

Damage to the inner ear as a result of noise exposure is a common occupational hazard and leads to numerous claims. The purpose
of this presentation is to outline and discuss the criteria that confirm noise induced hearing loss in relation to the audiograms
and the quantity of noise exposure, based on randomly selected cases from the author’s reports. Characteristics of tinnitus related to
hearing loss are described and the degree of disability associated with severity of tinnitus and hearing loss is discussed. Illustrations of
borderline cases are presented and methods to reach conclusions are elaborated with examples of cases that are difficult to diagnose.
The presentation includes a general guidance to make reports for noise induced hearing loss.
