Noise Exposure Questionnaire: A Tool for Quantifying Annual Noise Exposure [PDF]
Background:Exposure to both occupational and nonoccupational noise is recognized as a risk factor for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Although audiologists routinely inquire regarding history of noise exposure, there are limited tools available for quantifying this history or for identifying those individuals who are at highest risk for NIHL ...

1. Over 30 million workers are exposed to hazardous noise on the worksite. Continual exposure to high noise levels damages and destroys hearing cells within the ear, making noise induced hearing loss an irreversible impairment. 2. Hearing conservation programs are required by law for workers in industrial settings where noise exposures equal or exceed ...
