Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the impact of wind turbine noise on health-related quality of life.
TL;DR: It is suggested that wind farm noise can negatively impact facets of HRQOL, with residents living within 2 km of a turbine installation reporting lower overall quality of life, physical quality oflife, and environmentalquality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the relationship between noise sensitivity, annoyance and health-related quality of life in a sample of adults exposed to environmental noise.
TL;DR: Noise sensitivity was associated with health-related quality of life; annoyance and sleep disturbance mediated the effects of noise sensitivity on health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The restorative potential of soundscapes: A physiological investigation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of soundscapes on physiological measures obtained after a stressor or a period of rest, and found that autonomic function during stress recovery and at rest can be influenced by subjective response to the acoustic environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of LTP in the human auditory cortex by sensory stimulation
TL;DR: High‐frequency, repetitive, auditory stimulation was used to determine whether induction of a long‐lasting increase of the human auditory evoked potential (AEP) was possible and this represents the first direct demonstration of long‐term potentiation in the auditory cortex of normal, intact humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do Quiet Areas Afford Greater Health-Related Quality of Life than Noisy Areas?
TL;DR: Compared the results of health-related quality of life questionnaire datasets collected from households in localities differentiated by their soundscapes and population density, the dose-response relationships between noise annoyance and HRQOL measures indicated an inverse relationship between the two.
