noise induced hearing loss in iran: (1997-2012): systematic review article.

چکیده
noise-induced hearing loss, which is one of the 10 leading occupational diseases, is a debilitating and irreversible disease. during the recent 15-years period (1997-2012), several studies have investigated the association between noise, hearing damage and other side effects of noise in iran. the aim of this study was to review systematically the relevant literature related to noise-induced hearing loss, lead to developing noise exposure limits. in this systematic review, two researchers independently extracted the data from 31 past studies that had considered noise-induced hearing loss (including hearing loss, temporary and permanent hearing threshold shift and auditory trauma). the data were then recorded in a modified form and statistical analyses were performed using spss, version 16.0. in analyzed studies the weighted average equivalent sound pressure level [l aeq ] was 90.29 db(a) and average hearing loss was 26.44 db(a). the highest degree of hearing loss in the right ear was associated at 4000 hz, and the highest degree of hearing loss in the left ear was associated to 1000 and 4000 hz. the majority of the reviewed studies have confirmed that exposure to a noise level above 85 db (a) can lead to an increased chance of hearing loss. furthermore, the results of the present review indicated that as l aeq increased up to 85 db(a), so did the severity of the hearing loss.

متن کاملRisk factors for hearing loss in infants: a systematic review
Background and Objective: Hearing loss as a sensory disorder is among the most common developmental disorders. Based on the universal neonatal screening results, the incidence of hearing deficit is 1–3 per 1000 live births in the well-baby nursery population and 2–4 in 100 newborns in the intensive care community. The aim of this study was to highlight the main risk factors for hearing loss bas...
متن کاملTHE 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 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 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...
