The median hearing threshold level (HTL) data representing an unscreened Black nonindustrial noise exposed population (NINEP) were compared to the median HTL data of 3 previously established prebycusis data bases by Hinchcliffe, Corso and Rosen, and the data base developed by Robinson and Sutton. The data bases were all normalized relative to age 18. Comparisons were made between the black NINEP and the presbycusis data base HTL for different sex and age groupings. The unscreened Black NINEP exhibited median HTL similar to those of the presbycusis data bases for ages less than .apprx. 35-45 yr. For age groupings > 35-45 yr, the median HTL of the Black NINEP were generally lower (better hering) than those of the referenced presbycusis data bases even though this data base exhibited significant nonindustrial noise exposures, and medical and pathological problems which were not screened out of the population.
