Evaluation of Lifetime Noise Exposure History Reporting

CONCLUSIONS: We propose several recommendations for determining the LNEH. First, it is vital to define accurate loudness categories and corresponding allocated levels, with a preference for the loudness levels proposed by Ferguson et al. (2019), as identified in this study. Second, a structured questionnaire regarding LNEH is recommended, discouraging open-ended questioning. Third, it is essential to include a separate category exclusively addressing work-related activities, encompassing various activities for more accurate surveying.PMID:37988687 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00266
