Chemical exposure and hearing loss.
Workers are commonly exposed to multiple factors and substances that are hazardous to health. For instance, in 2005, approximately 30% of the European workers reported being exposed to noise during at least a quarter of the time spent in their work environment, 11% reported inhaling vapors such as solvents and thinners; 19% reported exposure to smoke, fumes, powder, or dust; and 14% reported ha...
متن کاملOccupational Chemical-Induced Hearing Loss
Exposure to chemicals in the workplace can lead to occupational chemical-induced hearing loss, as many chemicals have been internationally recognised as hazardous to hearing. A number of studies have demonstrated that, similar to noise, some chemicals not only affect the sensory organ of the auditory system (the cochlea) but also lead to adverse effects in central auditory structures. Morata an...
متن کاملHearing loss after noise exposure.
The higher field strength magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) such as 3 Tesla (T) and above generates noise that has potential detrimental effects on the hearing. Temporary threshold shifts following MRI examination have been reported for MRI with lower field strength. Such effect, however, have not been reported so far for a 3T MRI. We report a case that exemplifies the possible detrimental effec...
متن کاملEffects of Co-Exposure to Noise and JP-4 Jet Fuel on Hearing Loss in Rats
Background and Aim: Autotoxic substances such as JP-4 jet fuel can have negative effects on the auditory system by the various means such as cochlear dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effects of exposure to JP-4 jet fuel and noise on hearing loss in rats, to determine the possible interference effects of these two risk factors on rat auditory system. Methods...
