Abstract

The use of snowmobiles on a routine basis by Eskimo hunters has led to some concern regarding potential risk to hearing. Noise levels of snowmobiles were measured, under representative operating field conditions. Audiograms of hunters and of the general native population were obtained. Composite audiograms were prepared. Preliminary results indicate that: (a) the general native population presents a normal response pattern (b) the Eskimo hunters demonstrate a typical noise induced pattern of hearing loss.
