Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory Children's Health Checks: Audiology services DSS, May 2011-March 2012 Indigenous, Superseded 18/02/2015 Implementation start date: 01/05/2011 Implementation end date: 31/03/2012 Conditional obligation: Valid where a 'yes' response to the degree of hearing impairment indicator data element is selected. DSS specific information: The pure tone thresholds used to identify hearing impairment in the Audiology Services DSS are based on recommendations from Australian Hearing. They differ from the World Health Organization (WHO) standards as data relates only to children. Coding note: If a hearing impairment measurement is provided for both left and right ear, and it is indicated which measurement relates to which ear, the hearing impairment of least severity is recorded as the response to this question (ie. the response is based on the better ear).
