“…The overall sample was homogeneous as to gender. The significantly higher proportion of men in the groupwith hearing loss may be attributed to two factors: first, this study was conducted with adults of working age, in whom there is a higher incidence of male subjects with hearing loss induced by high sound pressure level (HSPLIHL) (20) ; second, there was participation by military personnel complaining of HSPLIHL, who reported not using proper protection during shooting activities (21) . The GIN test revealed a low incidence of false positives, which did not alter the final percentage of correct responses.…”

The loss in hearing is related to the average exposure to noise for eight hours or more above 85 decibels (dB) 9 .…”
