Notes:
Several people have shared their expertise and support in developing this guideline. The first version was developed and published in 2011. ACC, occupational medicine specialists and otorhinolaryngologists (ORLs) collaborated to provide practical guidance on how to assess whether noised-induced hearing loss (NIHL) was caused by occupational exposure.
ACC’s Audiology Advisor requested that the 2011 guideline be updated. We convened an expert advisory group and, alongside evidence-based research updated since 2011, provided expert consensus knowledge in this area. This 2018 version of the guideline is now presented to you to inform your specialist assessments of ACC ONIHL clients.
The New Zealand Society of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery endorsed the guideline on 5 October 2018.
