[Use of models in prognostication of hearing loss in the assessment of adverse effects of industrial noise].
Actual deafness due to constant and impulsive noise was compared with that calculated according to the Robinson patterns of deaf forecasting and standard 1999. Impulsive noises appeared to be the most aggressive for hearing. Since the amplitude and time parameters are eliminated from account in the patterns, they must be applied with caution to the evaluation of deafness risk.
