Occupational Noise Exposure during Endourologic Procedures
Journal of Endourology, 2008Long-term noise exposure in the workplace is a known cause of hearing loss. There has been limited study on the potential harm related to shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) or intracorporeal devices on patients and operating room personnel.We used a digital sound meter to measure decibel levels in the operating room during several endourologic procedures ...

Occupational noise exposure and hearing levels
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1981A study was made at the Bhabha Atomic Research Center to measure the hearing levels of persons working in a noisy environment. Two different workplaces, central air-conditioning plant and glass flowing shops, where a number of persons were exposed to noise levels exceeding 85 dB(A) were chosen.

Statistical evaluation of occupational noise exposure
Applied Acoustics, 2005Abstract Assessment of the risk involved in occupational noise exposure ( L EP,d ) is significantly affected by assumptions and uncertainties in setting true exposure conditions meaning that the calculation according to the European legislation might not be fully representative.

Managing occupational noise from blasts
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022The aim of this work is to examine the current best practice for the assessment of auditory hazards associated with occupational impulsive noise for a UK-based test site. A summary of the literature is presented on the measurement methodologies, hearing conservation, and relevant guidance for the selection of hearing protection within the context of ...

Occupational noise levels in orthopaedic surgery
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1999Prolonged exposure to potentially damaging noise levels in the workplace has been the subject of much recent litigation. The occupational risk of noise induced hearing loss among orthopaedic surgeons is unknown. Continuous readings of air-powered instruments routinely used in orthopaedic surgery were made in a regional trauma unit at standard distance ...

The Critical Intensity for Occupational Noise
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1980Decades of medical examinations have shown that large-scale risks of hearing defects exist not only from 90 dB(A) upwards, but even from 85 dB(A) upwards. This experience is confirmed by the analysis of 25,000 tone threshold audiograms and by the results of experimental hearing fatigue tests.

Occupational Noise — The Unavoidable Health Hazard
Journal of the Royal Society of Health, 1985threat to physical and psychological well-being, the sounds of our technology follow us through our working, leisure, and sleeping hours. Noise sources are multiplying rapidly. The industrial and technological development of urban society is producing an increasing number of devices with higher noise outputs.

Occupational noise in urban buses
International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 2006Abstract The noise level environment for Brazilian urban bus drivers (city of Curitiba) was examined. Noise levels were measured in 3 types of buses: (1) bi-articulated, (2) speedy, and (3) feeder, 20 buses of each type. Bi-articulated buses are formed by three cars and two hinges, and operate in exclusive lanes, where cars are not allowed. They stop

No-occupational exposure to noise.
Giornale italiano di medicina del lavoro ed ergonomia, 2005The aim of the research was to evaluate the risk for the health of the disco-goers related to no-professional exposition to noise produced by speakers of discos. The noise has been measured in the middle of a disco using a class 1 phonometer. The exposition level was calculated using the formula quoted in the D.Lgs 277/91 (Italian legislative decree ...
