ABSTRACT
This paper briefly describes Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) and proposes a formula for calculation of disability from NIHL. This has been used for compensation purposes in accordance with existing laws2 with regard to disability due to hearing loss in a mine in Botswana and could be used on a national basis. Disability from Binaural Hearing Loss (BHL) is calculated by first calculating the hearing handicap for each ear; then the Binaural Hearing Loss and finally applying a formula which takes into account the compensation allowed under the law
