Utilizing Artificial Neural Networks for Establishing Hearing-Loss
Predicting Models Based on a Longitudinal Dataset and Their
Implications for Managing the Hearing Conservation Program
Though the artificial neural network (ANN) technique has been used to predict noiseinduced hearing loss (NIHL), the established prediction models have primarily relied on crosssectional datasets, and hence, they may not comprehensively capture the…
Time Trend of Occupational Noise-induced Hearing Loss in a
Metallurgical Plant With a Hearing Conservation Program
This study aimed to analyze the trend of occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL)
in Brazilian workers at a metallurgical plant with a hearing conservation program (HCP), which has been
addressed in a previous study.
