What is an NIHL Test?
An NIHL audiogram establishes if a Claimant has patterns of hearing loss that are attributable to noise damage. We conduct calculations to see if the audiogram fulfils the qualifying criteria by using the Coles Lutman Buffin guidelines and also the updated LCB calculations. We can provide you with the NIHL report with these detailed calculations when we send to you the audiogram.
​
Our calculator reports identify if there is a notch or bulge and quantifies the noise element in dB. The R1 high frequency impairment states the hearing thresholds at 3, 4 or 6 kHz is at least 10 dB greater than at 1 or 2 kHz.
​
The R3 Audiometric configuration is a notch in the 3-6 kHz range of 10 dB and above. This can be reduced if an average of two or more Hearing Threshold Levels (HTL) can be used. A high frequency bulge is present if the HTL at 3 and/or 4 and/or 6 kHz is at least 10 dB greater to the comparison values for age-related hearing loss (AAHL). R3(a) Notch or bulge must be at least 10 dB. R3(b) Notch or bulge must be at least 20 dB. In summary, for these guidelines to be satisfied showing that on the balance of probabilities, NIHL is present, the following must be met:
R1, R2(a) (Employment related) and R3(a).
R1, R2(b) and R3(b).
​
As a provider of NIHL audiograms, our calculator is focused on audiology element, R1 and R3 and our graphs show the Claimants hearing results compared with their expected hearing thresholds.
