ABSTRACT
The physiologic loss of hearing acuity brings with it a number of problems. Among these are the difficulties in
distinguishing age related hearing loss from hearing loss associated with long exposure to intense industrial
noise and the psychological disturbances often associated with it. We present a retrospective audiological
study using pure tone average for both ears in a period of 1year conducted in ENT OPD, KIMS, Amalapuram.
