Otoacoustic emissions in normal-hearing workers exposed to different noise doses.
INTRODUCTION The otoacoustic emission test is useful in monitoring hearing changes not yet detectable in pure-tone audiometry, as well as in monitoring cochlear damage caused by exposure to noise. OBJECTIVE To evaluate distortion product otoacoustic emissions in normal-hearing workers exposed to different occupational noise doses. MATERIALS AND METHOD This is a cohort prospective study perf...
متن کاملEvaluation of Distortion and Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission in Tinnitus Patients with Normal Hearing
Introduction: Tinnitus is a perception of sound without external source. The exact etiology of tinnitus is not fully understood, although some researchers believe that the condition usually starts in the cochlea. The aim of this study was to determine the potential contribution of outer hair cell dysfunction to chronic tinnitus, by application of Distortion-Product Evoked Otoacoustic Emission (...
متن کاملEvoked otoacoustic emissions in workers exposed to noise: A review
INTRODUCTION The otoacoustic emissions test is an essential tool in the evaluation of auditory function, since it allows the early detection of cochlear damage of occupational origin. OBJECTIVE To present a review of the literature and analyze the effectiveness of the clinical application of the otoacoustic emissions test in workers exposed to noise. METHODS A bibliographical search cove...
متن کاملHearing Loss in Workers Exposed to Toluene and Noise
In this study we investigated the risk of hearing loss among workers exposed to both toluene and noise. We recruited 58 workers at an adhesive materials manufacturing plant who were exposured to both toluene and noise [78.6-87.1 A-weighted decibels; dB(A)], 58 workers exposed to noise only [83.5-90.1 dB(A)], and 58 administrative clerks [67.9-72.6 dB(A)] at the same company. We interviewed part...
متن کاملHearing loss in workers exposed to carbon disulfide and noise.
Simultaneous exposure to carbon disulfide and noise may have a combined effect on hearing impairment. In this study we investigated hearing loss in 131 men with exposure to noise [80-91 A-weighted decibels; dB(A)] and CS(2) (1.6-20.1 ppm) in a viscose rayon plant. These men were compared with 105 men in the adhesive tape and electronic industries who were exposed to noise only and with 110 men ...
