Abstract
Abstract Damage to the inner ear as a result of noise exposure is a common occupational hazard and leads to numerous claims. The purpose of this presentation is to outline and discuss the criteria that confirm noise induced hearing loss in relation to the audiograms and the quantity of noise exposure, based on randomly selected cases from the authors’ reports. Characteristics of tinnitus related to hearing loss are described and the degree of disability associated with severity of tinnitus and hearing loss is discussed. Illustrations of borderline cases are presented and methods to reach conclusions are elaborated with examples of cases that are difficult to diagnose.
