STS stands for standard threshold shift, which is the criteria for measuring occupational hearing loss. It is an average shift from the baseline measurement in either ear of 10 dB or more at 2000, 3000 and 4000 Hz. These frequencies are the most important frequencies in communication and the most sensitive to damage by industrial noise exposure.
