Holmes, Alice E.; And Others
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v28 n1 p70-76 Jan 1997
The results of an auditory screening protocol administered to 342 adolescents (ages 10-20) suggest a high level of noise exposure in the adolescent population. Overall failure rate was 25%. Significant correlations were found between firearm use and hearing loss at 6000 Hertz. Screening and education efforts are urged. (Author/CR)
