Abstract

Moore [(2020). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 148, 884-894] proposed a method for the diagnosis of hearing loss produced by noise exposure during military service (denoted M-NIHL) based on the audiogram. This letter characterizes the sensitivity and specificity of the method, based on 116 ears of men claiming compensation for M-NIHL and 244 ears of an age-matched non-noise-exposed control group of men screened to match the noise-exposed group in age, absence of conductive hearing loss, no history of ear diseases, and asymmetry across ears ≤10 dB. The sensitivity was 0.97 and the specificity was 0.67, giving a discriminability index d' of 2.3.

摘要

摩尔 [(2020). J. 声学学会. 美国 148, 884-894] 提出了一种基于听力图诊断军事噪声暴露引起的听力损失 (简称 M-NIHL) 的方法。这封信根据声称因 M-NIHL 而获得赔偿的 116 只男性耳朵和与噪声暴露组在年龄、无传导性听力损失、无耳部疾病史和双耳不对称性 ≤10dB 相匹配的 244 只非噪声暴露对照组男性的耳朵的敏感性和特异性进行了特征描述。敏感性为 0.97，特异性为 0.67，辨别指数 d'为 2.3。
