Supra-aural transducer-related artifact contributes to overestimation of noise-induced hearing loss.

This study compared the effects of supra-aural and insert receivers on the prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in young adults. NIHL prevalence was found to be substantially higher when hearing thresholds were obtained with supra-aural compared to insert receivers on the same subjects. Real-ear sound pressure levels at 4000, 6000, and 8000 Hz were the major predictors of notched-audiograms obtained with supra-aural headphones. Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions were not significantly different between ears with and without notched-audiograms obtained with supra-aural headphones. The results demonstrated that supra-aural transducer-related artifacts can mimic a notch-like pattern leading to overestimation of NIHL prevalence.
