The author assess permanent impairment ratings of these structures by evaluating losses in structures or the following functions : hearing; equilibrium; respiration; mastication; olfaction, and taste; speech and voice; and the effect of these losses on the ability to perform activities of daily living. Impairment criteria were adapted from the literature, law and ordinances in our country.
