Journal ArticleDOI
Occupational noise exposure and hearing loss of workers in two plants in eastern Saudi Arabia
Hafiz Omer Ahmed,John H. Dennis,O. Badran,Mady A. Ismail,Seifeddin G. Ballal,A. Ashoor,D. Jerwood +6 more
TL;DR: Gross occupational exposure to noise has been demonstrated to cause hearing loss and the authors believe that occupational hearing loss in Saudi Arabia is a widespread problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hand-arm vibration in the aetiology of hearing loss in lumberjacks.
TL;DR: A longitudinal study of hearing loss was conducted among a group of lumberjacks in the years 1972 and 1974, finding that vibration might operate in both of these disorders through a common mechanism--that is, producing a vasoconstriction in both cochlear and digital blood vessels as a result of sympathetic nervous system activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Click-evoked vestibular activation in the Tullio phenomenon.
TL;DR: The click-evoked responses in this patient with a unilateral Tullio phenomenon show changes consistent with her symptomatology and are indicative of a pathological increase in the normal vestibular sensitivity to sound.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hearing loss due to partly impulsive industrial noise exposure at levels between 87 and 90 dB(A).
L. Thiery,C. Meyer‐Bisch +1 more
TL;DR: Results reveal significant hearing loss after 9 years of exposure, greater than that from quasisteady noise exposure with the same equivalent continuous A-weighted sound-pressure level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hearing loss from interrupted, intermittent, and time varying non-Gaussian noise exposure: The applicability of the equal energy hypothesis.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the equal energy hypothesis is an acceptable approach to evaluating noise exposures for hearing conservation purposes provided that the kurtosis of the amplitude distribution is taken into consideration.
