Abstract
Numerical data of pure-tone hearing threshold levels as a function of age from presbyacusis literature were critically evaluated and analyzed. A formula was derived for predicting the age effect for otologically screened groups of human males and females. Complete distribution of hearing levels at any age for audiometric frequencies in the range 0.125-12 kHz were estimated with the aid of tabulated coefficients and some simple rules. Work of ISO [International Standards Organization] on standardization of normative audiometric data was discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
