Besides, what is considered a significant threshold shift?
The OSHA noise standard defines a STS as an average 10dB or more loss in one or both ears relative to the most current baseline audiogram averaged at 2000, 3000 and 4000 Hz.
Subsequently, question is, what is a permanent threshold shift? A permanent threshold shift is a permanent shift in the auditory threshold. It may occur suddenly or develop gradually over time. A permanent threshold shift results in permanent hearing loss.
Regarding this, how do you calculate standard threshold shift?
A threshold shift of 20 dB exists at 4000 Hz between the audiograms taken at ages 27 and 32. (The threshold shift is computed by subtracting the hearing threshold at age 27, which was 5, from the hearing threshold at age 32, which is 25). A retest audiogram has confirmed this shift.
How long is temporary threshold shift?
This may be a warning sign that your hearing is at risk of noise injury. Temporary hearing threshold shift can last for a few minutes up to many hours depending on the level and duration of noise exposure experienced.
