Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.The hearing threshold will be measured using Extended high-frequency audiometry in dBHL. 2.The ENHDC questionnaire administered will provide an outcome measure of cumulative noise scores. 3. The auditory processing abilities are measured using the SPIN which gives SNR score in dB 4. TSF-AF test, which gives scores of IPD in HzTimepoint: All the above-mentioned tests will be assessed in a single point in time
