This presentation deals with the evaluation of occupational hearing loss claims, the tests used over the years to determine the hearing status of the claimants, and the various methods used to convert the results of the audiometric tests in terms of percentage of hearing impairment. A significant modification of the 1961 American Medical Association formula has recently been adopted by the Board of Directors of both the American Academy of Otolaryngology and the American Council of Otolaryngology. The modified formula has been published: "Guide for the Evaluation of Hearing Handicap," JAMA, 241, (19): May 11, 1979. The reasons for this modification and its application in the evaluation of occupational hearing loss claims are discussed. Otolaryngologists are urged to become acquainted with the modified AAO formula and to apply it in the evaluation of hearing loss claims.
本报告涉及职业性听力损失索赔的评估、多年来用于确定索赔人听力状况的测试，以及用于将听力测试结果换算为听力损伤百分比的各种方法。美国耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学会和美国耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学会理事会的董事会最近采用了对1961年美国医学协会公式的重大修改。修改后的公式已发表：《听力障碍评估指南》，《美国医学会杂志》，241，（19）：1979年5月11日。讨论了进行此修改的原因及其在职业性听力损失索赔评估中的应用。敦促耳鼻咽喉头颈外科医生熟悉修改后的美国耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学会公式，并将其应用于听力损失索赔的评估。
