This report extends the development of normative standards for estimating occupational hearing loss using data from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. A proposed revision of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 1999:2013 standard ("Acoustics-Estimation on noise-induced hearing loss") uses a linear interpolation of hearing threshold data to estimate the 25th and 75th percentiles for men and women at 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000 Hz. This paper revisits the NHANES data to provide these estimates, avoiding other types of interpolations that could misrepresent the population data.
本报告利用美国国家卫生统计中心开展的美国国家健康与营养检查调查(NHANES)的数据,扩展了用于估计职业性听力损失的规范标准的制定。国际标准化组织(ISO)1999:2013标准(“声学——噪声性听力损失的估计”)的一项拟议修订,使用听力阈值数据的线性插值法来估计男性和女性在500、1000、2000、3000、4000、6000和8000赫兹时的第25和第75百分位数。本文重新审视了NHANES数据以提供这些估计值,避免使用可能会歪曲总体数据的其他类型插值法。
