TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - An evaluation of the U.S. Air Force's detailed follow-up audiometric examination program JO - Military medicine A1 - Meyer, G. D. A1 - Wirth, D. B. SP - 603 EP - 605 VL - 158 IS - 9 N2 - The authors used information on individuals demonstrating permanent threshold shifts contained in the United States Air Force Hearing Conservation Data Registry to evaluate the effectiveness of detailed follow-up audiometric examinations as part of the USAF Hearing Conservation Program. Analysis yielded a relative risk of 1.00 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.97-1.03, which indicates a high probability that the true effect of these audiograms on the results of the next annual exam is minuscule, if not zero.
