Occupational noise exposure remains the most commonly identified cause of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), but potentially hazardous noise can be encountered during leisure-time activities. NIHL in the pediatric population has received scant attention. This study focuses on 114 children and adolescents (ages 19 and under: 90.3% males) who were diagnosed as having probable NIHL on the basis of...

Background: Noise and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) are the most prevalent workplace problems. The best way to prevent NIHL is to monitor people's annual noise exposure (ANE) using tools, such as questionnaires. The present study aims to assess reliability of the Persian version of the Noise Exposure Questionnaire (NEQ) and NIHL scores among workers. Materials & Methods: This descriptive s...

Noise is the insidious of all industrial pollutants, involving every industry and causing severe hearing loss in every country in the world. Exposure to excessive noise is the major avoidable cause of permanent hearing impairment. Worldwide, 16% of the disabling hearing loss in adults is attributed to occupational noise, ranging from 7 to 21% in the various subregions. The estimated cost of noi...

Algorithm development and transformation: Experts in nursing informatics and occupational health nursing created algorithms based on definitions of Omaha System ratings and existing clinical and research data from firefighters were transformed using the algorithms. • Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) : One of most prevalent occupational injuries. • There are limited data on hearing ability of w...

Introduction: Excessive noise exposure is one of the majorly considered occupational stress for industrial workers. The operation steel weaving machinery producing a high level such as machines, crimping and hydraulic press machines prolonged period increases risk developing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). main aim study was to assess auditory health workers exposed in factory prevalence NIH...

Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) as one of major avoidable occupational related health issues has been studied for decades. To assess NIHL, the excitation pattern (EP) has been considered as one of mechanisms to estimate movements of basilar membrane (BM) in cochlea. In this study, two auditory filters, dual resonance nonlinear (DRNL) filter and roundedexponential (ROEX) filter, have been appl...

Introduction Researchers studying the hearing health of forestry workers have revealed the presence of a noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in this population and have concluded that the vibration of the equipment, the carbon monoxide released by motors, and pesticides might also contribute to NIHL. Objective To analyze the noise exposure in the Brazilian forestry industry workers and the effect...
