ABSTRACT
As it has been demonstrated in many animal experiments, noise can damage the cochlea and the central auditory pathways. It is very difficult in clinical studies to separate the relative contribution of both these sites. Auditory evoked potentials ABR, MLR and SVR study retrocochlear nervous conduction and collectively the results of these techniques proved an objective evaluation of the cochlear function. The Authors have studied a group of 130 sport shooters with high frequency hearing loss and found that in 38 ears a clear retrocochlear component could be recognised. Correlation with intensity, frequency and length of exposure to the traumatic noise demonstrates that explosive noise is an agent for NIHL. However athletes exposed to similar noises did not suffer from similar hearing loss, probably because of the well known individual noise susceptibility.
