Chapter 7.1 of the Report

To Assess Hearing Disability

— Take the Air Conduction hearing threshold levels at 500Hz, 1,000Hz, 2,000Hz and 4,000Hz, add and divide by 4.

— Do this separately for the right and left ears.

— Subtract 20dB from the average obtained for each ear.

This is an average hearing loss.

— Multiply the average hearing loss of each ear by 1.25%.

— Weight the better ear's figure by multiplying by four, add it to the worse ear's figure and divide the sum by 5.

— Correct for the Age Related Hearing Loss by table deductions, over the age of 69 years in males and 77 years in females (Table 4).

This figure is the Binaural Percentage Hearing Disability.

The additional disability allowance for moderate or severe tinnitus may be added.

This percentage computed is the proportion of hearing disability that the individual experiences, it is not the proportion of total body disablement.
