Treatments for noise-induced hearing lossThom, Jadine, Peters, Cheryl, MacIntyre, Elaina, Winters, Meghan, Teschke, Kay, Davies, Hugh 08 1900 (has links)
This literature review was undertaken to review the status of research on available treatments for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) on behalf of Safety & Health in Arts Production and Entertainment (SHAPE). This review focuses on the studies that have exhibited a positive effect on NIHL in humans and that have been published since 1985 (see Appendix 1 for literature search strategies).

Noise and hearing loss in musiciansThom, Jadine, MacIntyre, Elaina, Winters, Meghan, Teschke, Kay, Davies, Hugh 08 1900 (has links)
We conducted a systematic and comprehensive review of the peer-reviewed scientific literature with respect to hearing loss among musicians, exposure to noise, determinants of noise exposure, and methods for controlling those exposures. Details of the literature search are given in an appendix. A one-page summary of this review is available at http://www.cher.ubc.ca/PDFs/reviews/noiseandhearingloss.pdf
We found that both classical and rock musicians are at increased risk of developing noise-induced hearing loss and an associated disease, tinnitus, as a result of their exposure to music.

Noise and hearing loss in farmingWinters, Meghan, MacIntyre, Elaina, Peters, Cheryl, Thom, Jadine, Teschke, Kay, Davies, Hugh 08 1900 (has links)
This literature review was commissioned to provide FARSHA and its clients an up to date overview of the current knowledge regarding the risks of noise exposure to those working on farms, and methods of controlling exposure to reduce that risk. We conducted a systematic and comprehensive review of the peer-reviewed scientific literature with respect to hearing loss among farmers and their exposure to noise, and the determinants of noise exposure, and methods for controlling those exposures on farms.

Saw filers exposed to cobalt and other metals: determinants of exposure and respiratory health evaluationTeschke, Kay, Kennedy, Susan M., Marion, Stephen A., Chan Yeung, Moira, van Zuylen, Marielle, Lea, John, Switzer, Teresa, Thompson, Kent, Oja, Juri 04 1900 (has links)
This study outlines the results of an industrial hygiene and respiratory health assessment of eight coastal saw mills. It looked at airborne metal concentrations in occupational settings, and also evaluated the respiratory health of saw filing tradesmen. The results of the respiratory health assessment provide evidence that the saw filers studied are at risk for work-related increases in acute respiratory and nasal symptoms as well as for measurable reductions in lung function.
