Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss: From Pathological Mechanisms to Therapeutic Interventions

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), a significant non‐genetic form of hearing impairment, is primarily managed through the use of hearing aids and cochlear implants. However, the fundamental pathological mechanisms underlying NIHL remain inadequately addressed.

Progress On Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Mechanisms and Therapies

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hearing loss is the most common disabling disease among humans, which adversely affects human health. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) accounting for approximately 63% of all hearing loss cases. SNHL may be classified into age‐related hearing loss (ARHL), drug‐induced hearing loss (DIHL), noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), and sudden ...

Is ‘Normal Hearing’ Truly Normal? Temporal Processing and Speech Perception in Noise Abilities Amongst Relatively High Non-Occupational Noise-Exposed Young Adults

Noise and Health
Objective: Whilst occupational noise is known to affect suprathreshold auditory processing abilities, the concern regarding non-occupational noise exposure, such as recreational or environmental noise, is growing.

Concussed: Unintended Consequences of the Guardian Cap Mandate in the NFL

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Guardian Caps are padded shells worn over American football helmets to cushion impacts and reduce concussion risks. In 2022, the NFL mandated their use for specific position groups during preseason practices, later expanding this requirement. While the league praised the Caps for enhancing player safety, skeptics argue they may promote riskier

Fixing the Leaky Pipeline: Affirmative Action in Local Elite Colleges and Subject Choice

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Women are largely underrepresented in STEM careers associated with higher labor market returns. This gender gap is even more stark in a context where societal biases are prevalent and female role models are lacking. This paper investigates the impact of an affirmative action (AA) policy implemented in an elite educational institution in India ...

Income Mobility, Automation, and Occupational Licensing

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological change has long been tied with distributional concerns due to displacement against certain skills on labor markets. Short‐run dislocations could create scarring in the long run. For example, shifts against less skilled workers with children could limit their ability to improve the inter‐generational income mobility of their ...
