Updates
March 2022. Dr. Craner’s critical review/commentary article, Audiometric data analysis for prevention of noise‐induced hearing loss: A new approach, was published online on March 15, 2022 and is available in the May, 2022 issue of American Journal of Industrial Medicine. 
A downloadable copy of the print article is available here.
December 2021. A PCT (International Patent Application) was filed on December 6, 2021 for “Methods and systems for audiometric early detection, prediction and aggregate trend analysis of noise-induced and other progressive hearing loss.”
December 2020. Dr. Craner and Neil Willits, PhD filed a US Patent Office provisional patent application on December 7, 2020 for their invention, “Methods and systems for audiometric early detection, prediction and aggregate trend analysis of noise-induced and other progressive hearing loss.” 
This novel statistical methodology and related information automation technology transforms occupational audiometry from a compliance-driven, individual screening test with limited preventive capability into a medical surveillance process that can be directly linked to aggregate corrective and prevention actions. This patent emanates from the technology first publicly presented by Dr. Craner in 2016 as a Finalist in the OSHA-NIOSH Noise Challenge.
January 2020. Due to existing commitments, Dr. Craner will not be accepting new patients for direct clinical care or consultation. Effective Nov. 19, 2020, Dr. Craner’s ‘land line’ number (775) 345-1407 has been discontinued.
