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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Cumulative noise exposure model for outdoor shooting ranges [PDF]

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 ...

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.

Education, occupation, noise exposure history and the 10-yr cumulative incidence of hearing impairment in older adults [PDF]

Hearing Research, 2010
The purpose of this study was to determine the 10-yr cumulative incidence of hearing impairment and associations of education, occupation and noise exposure history with the incidence of hearing impairment in a population-based cohort study of 3753 adults ages 48-92 yr at the baseline examinations during 1993-1995 in Beaver Dam, WI.

The dose–response relationship between noise-induced hearing loss and cumulative noise exposure adjusted by the effect of hearing protection devices among workers in Southern China

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene
The noise exposure levels of workers wearing hearing protective devices (HPDs) depend on ambient noise and the protective effect of hearing protectors. This cross-sectional study aimed to adjust for cumulative noise exposure (CNE) based on the effective protection of hearing protection devices and explore the dose–response relationship between noise ...
