Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Differences in test outcomes obtained in the various conditions will be calculated and compared in order to accurately implement the test for the occupational practice. Results of Earcheck performed in an at-home situation will be compared to pure-tone audiometry results of a large group of noise-exposed employees to assess the test sensitivity and specificity in this specific population.	—
