Tinnitus in noise-induced hearing loss
British Journal of Audiology, 1985Tinnitus was analysed in 94 patients with noise-induced hearing loss. Tinnitus of a pure tone character was most common followed by narrow-band noises, and a combination of these. A broad-band noise type of tinnitus was the least common finding. Tinnitus was most common at high frequencies.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss and Snowmobiles
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1974The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of high-speed snowmobile engine noise on the auditory mechanism. Pre-exposure hearing tests were obtained on 21 racing drivers (42 ears) and five snowmobile mechanics (ten ears). Sound-pressure-level measurements were obtained on representative samples of high-speed engines and also on spectator ...

Noise-induced hearing loss is a major hazard in many workplaces and in society. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health estimates that more than 30 million workers (almost 1 in 10) are exposed to unsafe noise levels on the job. Helicopter emergency medical services crews work in an environment in which exposure to aviation noise makes

Prevention of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1995To review the evidence suggesting that occupational hearing conservation programs prevent noise-induced hearing loss; to describe the features, prevalence, and handicap associated with noise-induced hearing loss; and to describe the otolaryngologist's role in prevention of noise-induced hearing loss.Recent statements from the American College of ...

Age and noise-induced hearing loss
Scandinavian Audiology, 2001The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of noise, age and confounders in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Information about work exposure, the use of hearing protective devices, audiogram, environmental and biological factors was collected from 406 paper mill workers exposed to noise levels of 91-94 dB(A), 124 forest workers exposed to ...

Preventing noise-induced hearing loss
Nursing Clinics of North America, 2002Noise-induced hearing loss is a significant, irreversible impairment, but one that is preventable. The numbers of persons, including children, exposed to high noise is increasing, necessitating the use of hearing protection if the noise cannot be reduced to a safe level.

Prevalence of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Among Tanzanian Iron and Steel Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019 Iron and steel factory workers in Tanzania are likely to develop noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) due to exposure to high sound levels. Studies on hearing status in this population are lacking. The aims of this study were to determine prevalence of NIHL

Noise-induced hearing loss in Asia
International Journal of Audiology, 2011The aim of this manuscript is to summarize the current scenarios encompassing noise exposure in the workplace and the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in Asia. NIHL is the most prevalent and preventable occupational disease in most Asian countries.

Pediatrics, 2002
To the Editor — Niskar et al’s 1 estimate of 5.2 million US children with noise-induced threshold shifts (NITS) was unexpectedly high for a condition known primarily as an occupational hazard. It was particularly surprising that 1 out of 12 of the youngest children, aged 6–11, already had NITS. Some other study findings were also remarkable.
