The underlying hypothesis is that prior exposure to noise, such as that which occurs to service members, contributes to the burden of later age-related hearing loss (ARHL) resulting in an earlier onset and a greater hearing impairment. Studies use the UM-HET4 model and test a small arms fire (SAF)-like impulse noise, chosen for military relevance and a 8-16 kHz... |
