متن کاملEvaluation of occupational hearing loss and presbyacusis using a microcomputer.
Occupational noise-induced hearing loss remains a common problem in industry. This report presents a systematic method of patient evaluation and describes software that is capable of calculating hearing handicaps from audiometric data and the proportion of the handicap due to presbyacusis.

In addition, we evaluated the extent to which prevalence estimates could be explained by the effect of hearing loss on measures of central auditory processing and the difference in pre...
