On the importance of professional presbycusis at hearing loss

Abstract

A review of international and national standards was realized and it was showed that the residue of presbycusis was valid only if the employer wants for comparison of the audiogram taken in different years. It was proved that the development of a significant degree of professional hearing loss in older age groups depended on the length of service in terms of noise.
