Historic perspective of the acoustic otoscope.

abstract：:The value of audiometric database analysis (ADBA) procedures for evaluating the effectiveness of hearing conservation programs (HCPs) was studied in a population of 82,195 workers. We rated the HCP using four ADBA procedures. Results showed that the HCP ratings ran the gamut from "unacceptable" to "acceptable" from ye...
