The efficiency of Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEP) as an indicator of susceptibility to hazardous noise was investigated. In earlier studies, subjects were exposed to very intense occupational noise and temporary threshold shift (TTS) was produced by high intensity noise of 115 dB. Correlations between experimental TTS and the BAEP changes were investigated. BAEP indices, which significant correlations with the eventual hearing loss, were found. Similar criteria, which were found significant in the earlier work, were investigated in 94 industrial workers with normal hearing, without past exposure to noise, using a more moderate TTS-producing noise of 110 dB SPL. Under these conditions, no significant correlation between the noise susceptibility index and BAEP changes during TTS was found. The results of this study demonstrate the limitation of determining individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss using BAEP. TTS-producing noise levels must be high enough. Their predictive value holds only for hearing losses typical of high intensity occupational exposures.
