Abstract The report describes noise and hearing studies which were performed between 1968 and 1972. The aim of the occupational noise and hearing survey was to characterize noise exposure levels in a variety of industries, to describe the hearing status of workers exposed to such noise conditions, and to establish a relationship between occupational noise exposure and hearing loss that would be applicable to general industry. The four primary types of data collected during the study were noise measurments, personal background information, medical and otologic data and audiometric data.
