Area of Science:

  • Occupational health
  • Audiology
  • Industrial hygiene

Background:

  • Hearing loss is a significant risk in industrial settings.
  • Accurate hearing threshold testing is crucial for worker safety and compensation.
  • Traditional audiometry requires controlled environments, limiting worksite testing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the test-retest variability of a mobile wireless automated hearing-test system (WAHTS).
  • To compare WAHTS hearing thresholds with standardized audiometry in a sound booth.
  • To assess the feasibility of WAHTS for occupational audiometry at diverse worksites.

Main Methods:

  • A within-subject repeated-measures design compared WAHTS (six workplace locations) with mobile trailer audiometry.
  • Air-conducted thresholds (500-8000 Hz) were measured.
  • Ambient noise levels were recorded in all test environments.

Main Results:

  • WAHTS yielded equivalent thresholds to mobile trailer audiometry at 1000, 2000, 3000, and 8000 Hz.
  • Thresholds obtained by WAHTS were within ±5 dB of standard audiometry at 500, 4000, and 6000 Hz.
  • The system demonstrated reliable performance across various workplace noise conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The WAHTS demonstrates comparable performance to traditional audiometry for occupational hearing assessments.
  • Valid hearing thresholds can be obtained using WAHTS in diverse work locations without sound-attenuating enclosures.
  • This mobile system offers a practical solution for on-site audiometric testing in industrial environments.
