PrepTest 88, Section 3, Question 3
Audiologist: What is often considered age-related hearing loss is really the accumulated damage of long-term exposure to loud noise. This is demonstrated by studies of remote populations, who have little exposure to loud noise. These studies found that age-related hearing loss in these populations was limited or nonexistent.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the audiologist's argument?
Ancient medical texts describe methods of treating hearing loss.
Among remote populations, those people who lived for several years in urban areas show more age-related hearing loss than those who have always lived in remote areas.
Those who live in urban areas typically become so accustomed to low-level background noise that they are unaware they are hearing it.
Age-related hearing loss can make it difficult for people to participate in conversations that occur in social settings with more than two or three people.
Those who work in environments in which they are regularly exposed to loud noise tend not to wear ear protection unless they are required to.
