Genetic Polymorphisms Associated with Hearing Threshold Shift in Subjects during First Encounter with Occupational Impulse Noise
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most significant occupational health issue worldwide. We conducted a genome-wide association study to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with hearing threshold shift in young males undergoing their first encounter with occupational impulse noise. We report a significant association of SNP rs7598759 (p < 5 x 10(-7); p = 0.01 after ...
متن کاملTemporary hearing threshold shift measured by otoacoustic emissions in subjects exposed to short-term impulse noise.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess the influence of short-term impulse noise on the size and dynamics of temporary threshold shift, which precedes permanent threshold shift, i.e. noise-induced hearing loss. It was hoped to use the findings for preventive activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 80 healthy subjects (160 ears), aged 19-23 years, divided into two groups: g...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to impulse noise associated with shooting.
Shooting training is associated with exposure to a considerable amount of unique noise. We wanted to evaluate noise exposure during such training. Our observations especially apply to professional sport shooters, but they are also valid for shooting coaches/instructors. We collected acoustic signals in 10-, 25- and 50-m as well as open-air shooting ranges. The recorded material was analysed wit...
متن کاملThe Effect of Gingko Biloba on Hearing in Mice with Noise-Induced Temporary Threshold Shift
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Gingko biloba extract is known for enhancing blood circulation, scavenging free radicals, and antagonizing against platelet-activating factor. This study evaluated the effect of Gingko biloba on the noise-induced temporary threshold shift of hearing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Temporary threshold shift was induced by exposing mice to 110 dB SPL sound for 1 hour. The exper...
متن کاملtemporary threshold shift and noise-induced hearing handicap in a group of textile workers
exposing the ear to an intense noise will probably cause to hearing loss. this loss may be temporary threshold shift (tts), permanent threshold shift (pts), or a combination of the two. the average audiograms for the 157 textile workers, exposed to an average 100 db (a) overall noise level, in 5 age groups indicated that the losses were most prominent for frequencies of 3 to 6 kc/s showing a pe...
