Occupational Noise: Auditory and Non-Auditory Consequences [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
Occupational noise exposure accounts for approximately 16% of all disabling hearing losses, but the true value and societal costs may be grossly underestimated because current regulations only identify hearing impairments in the workplace if exposures result in audiometric threshold shifts within a limited frequency region.

Occupational noise-induced hearing loss [PDF]

Occupational Medicine, 1997
Occupational noise-induced hearing loss is, at least in theory, preventable. One way to assess the problem and whether preventative measures are effective is to assess employees' hearing. In order to minimize cost and time off work this can be carried out effectively in the workplace as long as certain conditions are met.
