Impact of daily noise exposure monitoring on occupational noise exposures in manufacturing workers [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Audiology, 2013
Despite the use of hearing protection devices (HPDs), noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) remains one of the most prevalent occupational conditions. A new technology allows for daily monitoring of noise exposures under HPDs. We report on an intervention employing the voluntary use of this technology in a worksite setting.Volunteers were fitted with a ...
