Questionnaire

These next questions are about noise exposure {you/SP} may have had at work. {Have you/Has SP} ever had a job, or combination of jobs where {you were/s/he was} exposed to loud sounds or noise for 4 or more hours a day, several days a week? Loud means so loud that {you/s/he} must speak in a raised voice to be heard.

Audiometry

No blocking method discontinuity is identified inside the selected cycle span, but one or more longitudinal changes require explicit harmonization conditions before pooling.

Praxis harmonization actions
  • Confirm that the construct and coding are unchanged before pooling or recoding.
  • Apply cycle-specific eligibility rules and restrict the pooled analytic population to a defensible common target population.
  • Verify merge grain, companion variables, and component-specific analytic guidance for the new file context.
