THE EFFECT OF NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS ON DENTISTS
This paper presents noise problems associated with the use of air-turbine drills in dental practice. Two hundred and fifty dentists (male and female) were randomly selected from the faculty of dentistry as well as the dentists who worked private in Tehran. The results indicated that the mean value of sound pressure level produced by the high-speed drills was 69.1 db. Most of the energy from...
متن کاملOccupational noise induced hearing loss in coal miners and coal washing factory workers in Kerman province
Introduction: The occupational noise induced hearing loss is one of the wide spread problems and a long term complication of working in noisy environments. At the present, large groups of workers who are working in noisy environments are exposed to hearing loss. So, this study is aimed to determine the prevalence of hearing loss (more than, 25 dB) of the workers in coal mines and leaching fac...
متن کاملnoise-induced hearing loss: prevention is possible
conclusions despite rising figures of reported occupational hearing loss, working nbii statistics show that the nihl problem in the danish work environment has, in fact, decreased. in our study, we found that roughly one third (around 100 cases) of the 272 screened persons presumably had nihl, taking into account 88 probable cases (column b) and 44 questionable ones (column c + 16 ski slopes). ...
متن کاملPrevention of noise-induced hearing loss.
OBJECTIVES To 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. DATA SOURCES Recent statements from the American College of Occupational Medicine,...
متن کامل[Treatment of noise-induced hearing loss].
In most textbooks, it is stated that noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an irreversible impairment of hearing. This is certainly true for the slowly, over time acquired NIHL. Working for years in a very noisy environment is causing a gradual killing of hair cells in the inner ear, with no hope for recovery. The other way of acquiring NIHL is by means of exposure to impact noise, and may cause...
