In fact, a well-established clinical sign of noise-induced hearing loss in pure tone audiometry is the presence of a temporary or permanent threshold shift, with the notch at 4 kHz.

INCREASED SENSIBILITY TO ACUTE ACOUSTIC AND BLAST TRAUMA AMONG PATIENTS WITH ACOUSTIC NEUROMA

At 6 months, 4 of them (16%) still exhibited bone-conduction deterioration, and they were considered to have experienced a permanent threshold shift.

Sensorineural hearing loss after ossicular manipulation and drill-generated acoustic trauma in type I tympanoplasty with and without mastoidectomy: a series of 51 cases

Repeated TTSs over weeks, months, and years fail to recover completely and thereby become a permanent threshold shift (PTS).

Effect of usage of personal music players on hearing in students aged 18-25 yrs

However, the high peak impulse levels of all the three bat materials could be a potential hazard for a temporary threshold shift, permanent threshold shift, or other related symptoms if this level is met with repeated exposure in a single game with multiple at-bat opportunities or during a batting practice scenario.

Impulse noise: can hitting a softball harm your hearing?

When the sound is sufficiently intense, it produces a much more severe temporary threshold shift which may go on to become a permanent threshold shift. There is a critical point at which moderate TTS changes to long term PTS, which correlates with anatomical damage to the outer hair cells.

Effect of noise pollution on hearing threshold in school children of Bangalore City

He found that 68% of 806 postdeployment evaluations had been diagnosed for at least one of the following: acoustic trauma (5.6%), permanent threshold shift (29.3%), tinnitus (30.8%), eardrum perforation (1.6%), or moderately severe hearing loss or worse (15.8%).

Cohort case studies on acoustic trauma in operation Iraqi freedom

Repeated exposures that result in a TTS may eventually lead to a permanent threshold shift (PTS).

Noise exposure levels in stock car auto racing

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, and if you have a history of noise exposure, you may be developing or already have a noise-induced permanent threshold shift, or NIPTS, as many call it.

Your only chance for a one-time good deal

The blast did not rupture the tympanic membrane, but it appeared to have caused a permanent threshold shift at 4 kHz.

Blast injury to the tympanic membrane

(21) The authors reported that permanent threshold shifts occur at 250 Hz and above and that the low frequency range was affected most, when compared with normative data.
