Evaluating tinnitus in industrial hearing loss prevention programs.
This study evaluated the interference of tinnitus on the quality of life for noise-exposed workers enrolled in a hearing conservation program. Noise measurements, a questionnaire, a Brazilian version of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), and pure-tone audiometry were conducted with 52 participants (mean age, 29 years) who suffered from tinnitus.

Regular evaluations of conservation programs and the implementation of recommendations resulting from such assessments are infrequent because of resistance by participants and lack of funding. Evaluations may be internal or external, depending on the purpose of the review and how broadly...
متن کاملVR-Techniques for Industrial Applications
Virtual Prototyping (VP) is, so far, the most challenging class of applications for virtual reality (VR). A VR system suitable for VP must be able to handle very large geometric complexities which, in general, cannot be reduced significantly by common rendering techniques such as texturing or level-of-detail. Furthermore, VP is the most “interactive” type of applications for VR compared to othe...
متن کاملNIOSH tools for hearing loss prevention programs
The mining workforce experiences high rates of hazardous noise exposure and hearing loss. However, previous studies have identified specific behavioral and attitudinal barriers that keep miners from effectively acting to prevent their own hearing loss. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has developed several new hearing loss prevention tools and interventions that ...
