Abstract

When an individual is exposed first to a high-level noise H for a time T and then to one of lower level L for time t, his temporary threshold shift (TTS) is equal to the numerical sum of (1) the TTS in db that would be produced by level L acting over a period of time T+t, and (2) the TTS in db that would remain after t min of recovery in quiet from TTSD, where TTSD is the difference between (a) the TTS at the end of the T-min exposure to H and (b) the TTS that would have been produced by T min of exposure to L. It appears that this result rules out any simple explanation of TTS.
