Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the second most common cause of sensorineural hearing loss, after age-related hearing loss, and affects approximately 5% of the world’s population. NIHL is associated with substantial physical, mental, social, and economic impacts at the patient and societal levels. Stress and social isolation in patients’ workplace

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss [PDF]
Hearing loss affects 30 million people in the United States; of these, 21 million are over the age of 65 years. This disorder may have several causes: heredity, noise, aging, and disease. Hearing loss from noise has been recognized for centuries but was generally ignored until some time after the Industrial Revolution.

Drug development for noise-induced hearing loss
Excessive exposure to noise is a common occurrence that contributes to approximately 50% of the non-genetic hearing loss cases. Researchers need to develop standardized preclinical models and identify molecular targets to effectively develop prevention and curative therapies.

What is noise-induced hearing loss? [PDF]
Noise-induced hearing loss is sensory deafness caused by long-term exposure of the auditory system to a noisy environment. Auditory fatigue is an early symptom of noise-induced hearing loss, and hearing can gradually recover after people leave a noisy environment.

Oleuropein Effect on Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
To investigate the possible protective activity of oleuropein compound on noise-induced hearing loss in rats.Twenty-eight adult male albino rats were divided into 4 groups. Control normal saline (n=7) group was kept noise-free. Control oleuropein group (n=7) group was kept noise-free and was administered with 50 mg/kg/day oleuropein.

Occupational noise-induced hearing loss [PDF]
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.
