  • Title: [Analysis of 1700 compensated cases of noise induced hearing loss in the metal industry (author's transl)].
    Author: von Lüpke A.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1978 Jun; 57(6):505-19. PubMed ID: 661463.
    Abstract:
    The files of an occupational insurance association (Berufsgenossenschaft), in that case the Süddeutsche Eisen- und Stahl-Berufsgenossenschaft with 1.4 million insurants, gave the chance to analyse statistically the development of the noise induced hearing loss during about 10 years. As a result of this documentation inter alia it was possible to allocate the compensated cases to the different branches, to investigate the influence of the noise exposition on the hearing loss as well as other audiological data of interest which enable e.g. to compare the different test methods or to estimate on the basis of the pure tone audiogram the probability that a noise induced hearing loss will be compensated.
