Abstract

This paper reviews the ISO-1999 and ANSI S3.44 standards and the literature related to prediction of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in humans. The dearth of contemporary population-based studies of hearing loss among industrial, low noise-exposed individuals have made the ISO-I 999 and ANSI S3.44 standards a key source of comparative data for assessing the risk of NIHL. This paper will highlight how these standards have been used in several published papers to examine the magnitude of NIHL risk, Predictions of noise-induced thresholds in hearing conservation data, and to generate hypotheses regarding the biologic plausibility of hearing loss due to chemicals or other ototoxic agents.
