note = "Funding Information: Some years ago, Mark Stephenson had a conversation with Doug that became the impetus for a multi-year study on the variability of audiometric testing. Lamenting the challenge of assigning an occupational origin for a worker {\textquoteright}s hearing loss, Mark suggested that the Army add 8000 Hz to the set of audiometric test frequencies used with service members. Doug {\textquoteright}s candid response in his inimitable manner was, Not just no, but hell no.” The reason for Doug {\textquoteright}s stance was a belief that the variability of 8000 Hz was too great to be of practical value. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) funded a multi-year contract with Greg Flamme at Western Michigan University to investigate the variability of frequencies used for occupational hearing screening. Flamme et al address more than just audiometric variability; they investigate the prevalence of noise notches in an audiogram and the correlation between successive audiograms.",
