In the present study, the concept of a systematic automated screening of temporary soldiers was evaluated based on the example of the ENT Department of the Bundeswehr Central Hospital Koblenz. From 2014 to 2017, anonymized data of 169 individuals were collected from the setting of the Bundeswehr Central Hospital. Included in the data are results from measurements with automated pure-tone audiometry (APTA; e.g., [3]), from measurements with the digit triple test for determination of the speech discrimination threshold in noise (e.g., [20]), and from interviews with questionnaires (Hearing-Dependent Daily Activities [HDDA], e.g., [14]; HearCom questionnaire, e.g., [15]). There was an initial publication from this project evaluating the questionnaires in terms of their suitability for detecting hearing loss [14]. In the following (from March 2015), only the HDDA, which was described as more sensitive, was used for measurements at the hearing screening measurement station. A complete run with the three procedures took approximately 22 min. Approximately 17% of the examined participants had abnormal findings in at least one of the procedures at the screening station. The results of the respective methods taken together detect more than any method alone and can be assumed to be complementary. Deviations between APTA with level monitor and manual tone audiometry were within the measurement accuracy. In the range between 1 and 4 kHz, hearing thresholds are somewhat underestimated with APTA. The threshold for the HDDA questionnaire with an HDDA sum ≥ 19 was confirmed. Automated hearing screening offers a good opportunity to check hearing ability on a regular basis in a standardized and reliable manner, while keeping personnel requirements low.
