Since the share of sensorineural hearing loss in the structure of occupational morbidity in the Russian Federation increased by 1.5 times in 2018 compared to 2007, it is essential to ensure the reliability of the results of diagnostic studies to establish the fact of hearing impairment as a result of occupational noise.

Abstract:

The effect of sociocultural environment on self-evaluated occupational competence was examined among 81 Jewish high school girls with hearing loss (HL) or normal hearing in four groups: ultra-orthodox (UO) with HL, secular with HL, and two matched hearing groups. Participants completed questionnaires on occupational competence. Findings showed that participants with HL rated highly prestigious occupations that require communication as less suitable for them than did hearing participants. UO participants rated less prestigious occupations as more suitable for them than did secular participants.

Abstract:

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the second most common cause of sensorineural hearing loss, after age-related hearing loss, and affects approximately 5% of the world’s population. NIHL is associated with substantial physical, mental, social, and economic impacts at the patient and societal levels. Stress and social isolation in patients’ workplace and personal lives contribute to quality-of-life decrements which may often go undetected. The pathophysiology of NIHL is multifactorial and complex, encompassing genetic and environmental factors with substantial occupational contributions. The

Abstract:

Noise levels are truly continuous in relatively few occupations, with some degree of intermittency the most common condition. The sound levels of intermittent noise are often referred to as non-Gaussian in that they are not normally distributed in the time domain. In some conditions, intermittent noise affects the ear differently from continuous noise, and it is this assumption that underlies the selection of the 5-dB exchange rate (ER). The scientific and professional communities have debated this assumption over recent decades. This monograph explores the effect of non-Gaussian noise on the

Occupational hearing loss (OHL) is known to be one of the most common occupational diseases. Common causes are being exposed to workplace hazardous noise levels, ototoxic chemicals, head injuries and barotrauma. Occupational noise-induced hearing loss is mostly due to the death or damage of hair cells in our ear, which do not grow back. On the other hand, ototoxic chemicals affect the structures in cochlear and auditory neurological pathways leading to hearing loss. In occupational head trauma, the parts of the ear that are damaged are the tympanic membrane, middle ear and cochlea which leads

Abstract:

The aim of this article is to elucidate the main aspects of Noise Hearing Loss. Pathology that has been increasing since the Industrial Revolution since the second half of the 18th century. The worker’s health did not go unpunished in the context of a change in mass production: repetitive strain injury, musculoskeletal disorders, definitive or temporary deafness and even psychic suffering are frequent to the work environment. It is essential to emphasize that health is protected by the Occupational Health Legislation, which is the legal framework for states and the city to fulfill their attrib

Abstract:

The purposes of this study of airport workers were to a) determine the prevalence and symptoms of hearing loss, and b) identify compliance in using hearing protective devices (HPDs) and its relationship with hearing loss. This cross sectional epidemiological study was conducted with 255 noise exposed and 195 non-noise exposed, full time, male workers at a large metropolitan airport in Seoul, Korea. The three measures used were the self administered Occupational Hearing Questionnaire (OHQ), an audiological assessment, and a record review of baseline hearing and noise levels of locations in whic

Abstract:

Hearing threshold was assessed in subjects engaged in different occupations at 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000 Hz and 8000 Hz, for left and right ear. The results revealed that the hearing threshold of truck drivers, auto drivers, traffic policeman, shop keepers, military personals, post office personals are significantly higher than the corresponding value for the normal subjects (persons not engaged in any particular profession). Among the different occupational categories, the truck drivers were found to have maximum hearing loss at higher frequencies which was followed by traffic po
