为了评估与在移动的拖车声室中获得的标准化自动听力阈值相比，在工作场所使用具有增强声衰减的创新移动的无线自动听力测试系统（WAHTS）获得的听力阈值的重测变异性，以测试工业工人。一个受试者内重复测量的设计被用来比较空气传导阈值测试（500至8000 Hz）测量的WAHTS在六个工作场所的位置，和第三次测试使用计算机控制的测听获得的移动的拖车声亭。在所有测试环境中测量环境噪声水平。20名工人担任听众，20名工人担任接线员。平均而言，WAHTS在1000、2000、3000和8000 Hz下产生的阈值与移动的拖车听力测定相当，在500、4000和6000 Hz下的阈值在±5 dB范围内。在职业测听中，WAHTS可获得类似的性能，并且在不同的测试位置可获得有效的阈值，而无需使用声音衰减外壳。
To assess the test-retest variability of hearing thresholds obtained with an innovative, mobile wireless automated hearing-test system (WAHTS) with enhanced sound attenuation to test industrial workers at a worksite as compared to standardized automated hearing thresholds obtained in a mobile trailer sound booth. A within-subject repeated-measures design was used to compare air-conducted threshold tests (500 to 8000 Hz) measured with the WAHTS in six workplace locations, and a third test using computer-controlled audiometry obtained in a mobile trailer sound booth. Ambient noise levels were measured in all test environments. Twenty workers served as listeners and 20 workers served as operators. On average, the WAHTS resulted in equivalent thresholds as the mobile trailer audiometry at 1000, 2000, 3000 and 8000 Hz and thresholds were within ±5 dB at 500, 4000, and 6000 Hz. Comparable performance may be obtained with the WAHTS in occupational audiometry and valid thresholds may be obtained in diverse test locations without the use of sound-attenuating enclosures.
