Noise-induced hearing loss is a major hazard in many workplaces and in society. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health estimates that more than 30 million workers (almost 1 in 10) are exposed to unsafe noise levels on the job. Helicopter emergency medical services crews work in an environment in which exposure to aviation noise makes

Presbycusis and Noise-Induced Hearing Loss*
Ear and Hearing, 1990In a longitudinal and an age cohort comparing study the influence of aging and occupational noise exposure on hearing sensitivity was studied. The participants of the longitudinal study were studied at 70, 75, and 79 years of age. Seventy year old men exposed to occupational noise had 10 to 15 dB poorer hearing in the high frequency range than ...

Noise‐induced hearing loss in children
The Laryngoscope, 1992AbstractOccupational noise exposure remains the most commonly identified cause of noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), but potentially hazardous noise can be encountered during leisure‐time activities. NIHL in the pediatric population has received scant attention.

Noise-induced hearing loss in Asia
International Journal of Audiology, 2011The aim of this manuscript is to summarize the current scenarios encompassing noise exposure in the workplace and the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in Asia. NIHL is the most prevalent and preventable occupational disease in most Asian countries.

The AMA and Noise-induced Hearing Loss
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1969AN editorial appearing inThe Journal( 205 :928 [Sept 23]) entitled "Noise Pollution" should stir the ire of anyone remotely interested in the protection and preservation of the organ of Corti. This editorial is written in a facetious manner, obviously criticizing a national noise study by the Public Health Service's National Center for Urban and ...

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss and Snowmobiles
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1974The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of high-speed snowmobile engine noise on the auditory mechanism. Pre-exposure hearing tests were obtained on 21 racing drivers (42 ears) and five snowmobile mechanics (ten ears). Sound-pressure-level measurements were obtained on representative samples of high-speed engines and also on spectator ...

Recruitment in Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1966A group of subjects with sensory-neural noise-induced hearing loss was tested with a fixed-frequency Bekesy type audiometer. Responses were studied for signs of abnormal auditory adaptation and increased differential sensitivity. Adaptation was defined as a poorer threshold response to a continuous tone than to an interrupted tone.

Tinnitus in noise-induced hearing loss
British Journal of Audiology, 1985Tinnitus was analysed in 94 patients with noise-induced hearing loss. Tinnitus of a pure tone character was most common followed by narrow-band noises, and a combination of these. A broad-band noise type of tinnitus was the least common finding. Tinnitus was most common at high frequencies.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss and Presbyacusis
International Journal of Audiology, 1971The effect of aging on hearing (threshold) levels at 1 000 and 4 000 Hz was investigated in war veterans who had normal hearing for their age at 1 000 Hz and considerable hearing losses at 4 000 Hz (produced by acoustic trauma or other war-time noise exposure) when first tested audiometrically. It was found that the threshold levels at both 1 000 and 4

Prevention of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1995To review the evidence suggesting that occupational hearing conservation programs prevent noise-induced hearing loss; to describe the features, prevalence, and handicap associated with noise-induced hearing loss; and to describe the otolaryngologist's role in prevention of noise-induced hearing loss.Recent statements from the American College of ...
