Abstract: The study aimed at understanding the temporary threshold shift in Nashik Dhol artists by conventional pure tone audiometry, after exposed with Nashik Dhol. The present study was conducted on 160 individuals within the age limit of 16 to 40 years who were exposed to noise for 4 hours continuously. And found that every individual had experienced threshold shifts in both ears due to loud noise exposure by Nashik Dhol. From the third pure tone audiometry test, the study discovered that the all participants recovered from threshold shift within 24 hours and concluded that all shifts were temporary. From the current study, it is clearly evident that exposure to loud noise can lead to a temporary threshold shift. So, by using appropriate ear protection devices, individuals can prevent noise induced hearing loss.
