Annexes
Annex A (informative) - Calculation of data base A, hearing
        threshold level associated with age (HTLA) for an
        otologically normal population (highly screened)
Annex B (informative) - First example for data base B
Annex C (informative) - Second example for data base B
Annex D (informative) - Selected hearing threshold levels
        associated with age
Annex E (informative) - Example of assessment of risk of
        noise-induced hearing impairment
Annex F (informative) - Tables with examples for NIPTS
        data
Annex G (informative) - Bibliography

Defines a method for calculating the expected noise-induced permanent threshold shift (NIPTS) in the hearing threshold levels of adult populations due to various levels and durations of noise exposure, as well as the total hearing levels resulting from NIPTS in combination with aging and other causes of hearing impairment.
