TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs; sum of years lived with disability [YLD] and years of life lost [YLL]) attributable to the independent effects of 67 risk factors and clusters of risk factors for 21 regions in 1990 and 2010.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noise exposure levels from personal stereo use.

TL;DR: Noise exposure results obtained did not indicate that there was a significant increase in the risk to potential noise injury from PSP use alone, and there was no correlation between self-reported hearing loss and/or the incidence of tinnitus.
Journal Article

Epidemiology of noise-induced hearing loss in New Zealand.

TL;DR: The substantial and increasing societal costs despite decades of NIHL control legislation suggests that current strategies addressing this problem are not effective, inadequately implemented, or both.
Journal ArticleDOI

The leisure-noise dilemma: hearing loss or hearsay? What does the literature tell us?

TL;DR: While sufficient data confirm that some leisure pursuits provide potentially hazardous noise levels, the nature of the exposure–injury relationship for leisure-noise is yet to be determined, specific information about the quality-of-life effects of threshold shift related to leisure- noise exposure is also lacking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clubbing: The cumulative effect of noise exposure from attendance at dance clubs and night clubs on whole-of-life noise exposure

TL;DR: A study of "clubbers" reveals regular clubbing to be a source of high noise exposure, with a sustained period of regular club attendance contributing to a significant portion of whole-of-life noise exposure.
