Assessment of noise exposure in a hospital kitchen.

29 Jun 2009 In March 2007, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) was asked to evaluate the noise exposure of employees in the Nutrition and Food Services Department of a large hospital, because of noise concerns raised after the ... Read more...

Impulse noise: theoretical solutions to the quandary of cochlear protection.

30 May 2009 Workers in industries with impact noise, as well as soldiers exposed to supersonic blasts from armament and explosive devices, appear to be more at risk for hearing loss than are their counterparts exposed to continuous noise. Alternative ... Read more...

Adolescents and MP3 players: too many risks, too few precautions.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: The goal was to assess risky and protective listening behaviors of adolescent users of MP3 players and the association of these behaviors with demographic characteristics and frequency of use. METHODS: In 2007, 1687 adolescents (12-19 ... Read more...
