Assessment of Occupational Hearing Loss Associated With Non-Gaussian Noise Using the Kurtosis-Adjusted Cumulative Noise Exposure Metric: A Cross-Sectional Survey [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
ObjectiveThere is little literature on the validity of kurtosis-adjusted noise energy metrics in human studies. Therefore, this study aimed to validate the application of cumulative noise exposure (CNE) adjusted by kurtosis in evaluating occupational ...

Effectiveness of Kurtosis-Adjusted Cumulative Noise Exposure in Assessing Occupational Hearing Loss Associated With Complex Noise. [PDF]

Ear Hear, 2023
Objectives: Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the most prevalent occupational diseases worldwide. Few studies have been reported on applying kurtosis-adjusted noise energy (e.g., kurtosis-adjusted cumulative noise exposure, CNE-K) as a joint indicator for assessing NIHL.

Cumulative Noise Exposure and Perceived Effects: A Comparative Study Among Different Occupational Groups in Kolkata.

Indian J Occup Environ Med, 2022
Background: Adverse short-term and long-term health effects following a high level of noise have been established. The current study aims to find the relationship of these effects with an environment-specific level of noise exposure.

The Use of the Kurtosis-Adjusted Cumulative Noise Exposure Metric in Evaluating the Hearing Loss Risk for Complex Noise. [PDF]

Ear Hear, 2016
Objective: To test a kurtosis-adjusted cumulative noise exposure (CNE) metric for use in evaluating the risk of hearing loss among workers exposed to industrial noises. Specifically, to evaluate whether the kurtosis-adjusted CNE (1) provides a better association with observed industrial noise-induced hearing loss, and (2 ...

Examining the complex and cumulative effects of environmental exposures on noise perception through interpretable spatio-temporal graph convolutional networks

Environment International
With the continuous expansion of urban populations, interactions between humans and their environments have grown increasingly frequent and complex. Traditional environmental studies often focus on isolated factors or specific locations, neglecting the ...

Cumulative noise exposure model for outdoor shooting ranges [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019
An impulsive noise exposure model for outdoor military shooting ranges was created. The inputs to the model included spatial interpolation of noise exposure metrics measured from a single round of fire from a small-arms ballistic weapon. Energies from this single-shot model were spatially translated and summed to simulate multiple shooters firing ...

The effect of cumulative noise exposure on distortion product otoacoustic emissions

International Journal of Audiology, 2022
This study aimed to identify the characteristics of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) that can be used to differentiate noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) from age-related hearing loss. A potential index to detect NIHL was defined in terms of its susceptibility to cumulative noise exposure but not to age.

A generalized cumulative noise exposure metric for community response analysis [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
In community noise studies, there is often a desire to understand how the annoyance response to multiple noise events aggregates over a long period of time. Many cumulative response metrics, such as day-night level (DNL), are based on the idea that humans respond, on average, to the sum of frequency-weighted acoustic energy over time.

Cumulative exposure to nighttime environmental noise and the incidence of peptic ulcer

Environment International, 2018
Background: Exposure to noise poses auditory and non-auditory effects on health. The gastrointestinal tract is considered as the site of adverse reactions to noise-induced stress; little attention has been paid to a potential link between noise and ...

Clubbing: The cumulative effect of noise exposure from attendance at dance clubs and night clubs on whole-of-life noise exposure

Noise and Health, 2010
Anecdotally it has been suggested that exposure to some noise sources through leisure activities could have a significant effect on whole-of-life noise exposure.
