Title:  Method of test for estimating the risk of hearing handicap due to noise exposure

 

Abstract:  Specifies a relationship between noise exposure and the expected incidence of hearing handicap. The exposure is derived from the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound level during an 8-hour working day, whilst the handicap is taken as 30 dB referred to a specified audiometric zero.
