The Military Factor in Noise Induced hearing loss : Complexities and Controversies
Abstract
Until recently, noise induced hearing loss was assessed on the guidelines set by Lutman Coles and Buffin, which underwent modification in 2015, These were based on Gaussian noise in various trades. Military noise is different in terms of frequency and intensity variations and also includes an excess of impact noise. This has led to modification of criteria for diagnosis of military noise induced hearing loss (M-NIHL), pioneered by Prof Brian Moore and followed by many proponents. How has this impacted upon the previous criteria is the subject of this study. A cohort of clients claiming M-NIHL has been randomly picked up from the authors personal series to whom both LCB and M-NIHL criteria have been applied. An analysis has been made to see if these clients pass both criteria or just one or the other. Associated controversies regarding M-NIHL and its implication on future claims will be discussed.
