Gender perspectives in psychometrics related to leisure time noise exposure and use of hearing protection.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate possible gender differences regarding psychometric scales measuring risk perception in noisy situations, attitudes towards loud music, perceived susceptibility to noise, and individual norms and ideals related to activities where loud music is played. In addition the purpose was to analyze whether these variables are associated with protective...
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 کاملEffect of Exposure to a Mixture of Organic Solvents on Hearing Thresholds in Petrochemical Industry Workers
Introduction: Hearing loss is one of the most common occupational diseases. In most workplaces, workers are exposed to noise and solvents simultaneously, so the potential risk of hearing loss due to solvents may be attributed to noise. In this study we aimed to assess the effect of exposure to mixed aromatic solvents on hearing in the absence of exposure to hazardous noise. Materials and Met...
متن کاملHigh-frequency (10-18 kHz) hearing thresholds: reliability, and effects of age and occupational noise exposure.
The objective was to investigate the reliability and effects of age and noise on high-frequency hearing thresholds. A cross-sectional study was used involving 187 exposed and 52 non-industrial noise-exposed subjects selected randomly from noise-exposed and non-industrial noise-exposed subjects, respectively. Each subject was tested with both conventional-frequency (0.25-8 kHz) and high-frequenc...
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...
