The Noise Exposure Structured Interview (NESI): An Instrument for the Comprehensive Estimation of Lifetime Noise Exposure [PDF]
Trends in Hearing, 2018 Lifetime noise exposure is generally quantified by self-report. The accuracy of retrospective self-report is limited by respondent recall but is also bound to be influenced by reporting procedures. Such procedures are of variable quality in current measures of lifetime noise exposure, and off-the-shelf instruments are not readily available.

The epidemiology of noise exposure in the Australian workforce
Noise and Health, 2013 This work considers an alternate methodology for the estimation of the noise exposed population of the Australian workforce. Previous methods relied on the statistics from the annual rate of application for worker′s hearing loss compensation claims, the ...

Development of an open-source road traffic noise model for exposure assessment [PDF]
, 2015 This paper describes the development of a model for assessing TRAffic Noise EXposure (TRANEX) in an open-source geographic information system. Instead of using proprietary software we developed our own model for two main reasons: 1) so that the treatment

Workplace noise exposure and the prevalence and 10-year incidence of age-related hearing loss.
PLoS ONE, 2021 There is paucity of population-based data on occupational noise exposure and risk of age-related hearing loss. Therefore, we assessed cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of past workplace noise exposure with hearing loss in older adults.

Noise exposure and public health.
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2000 Exposure to noise constitutes a health risk. There is sufficient scientific evidence that noise exposure can induce hearing impairment, hypertension and ischemic heart disease, annoyance, sleep disturbance, and decreased school performance. For other effects such as changes in the immune system and birth defects, the evidence is limited.

Noise exposure in the rural setting [PDF]
The Laryngoscope, 1993 AbstractNoise levels of 155 tractors on 36 farms were studied. The range of noise levels at the driver's ear level with radios off and windows closed (if so equipped) was from 78 to 103 dB. Seventy‐five percent of tractors without cabs had noise levels in excess of 90 dB, compared to only 18% of tractors with cabs. The use of a radio adds an average of

Association of occupational noise exposure with hypertension: A cross‐sectional study
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2023 The effects of chronic occupational noise exposure on hypertension are debated. We aimed to investigate the association between occupational noise exposure and the prevalence of hypertension.

NOISE EXPOSURE DURING ORTHOPAEDICS SURGERY [PDF]
Science Heritage Journal, 2017 There is serious concern on noise hazard in operating theatre especially in the orthopaedics field that requires usage of many instruments. However, data on this noise exposure particularly in Malaysia is rather limited.
