Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Exposure to noise can result in neural swelling, mechanical damage, andor a toxic accumulation of free radicals. The type and extent of the pathology, the amount of hearing loss, and the permanence of the hearing loss all vary with the level and duration of the noise insult. In addition, noise exposures in which sound level rapidly changes over time are more harmful than relatively constant level exposures. These relationships have been carefully worked out in animal models, and key findings will be reviewed. Evaluating the effects of noise on the human inner ear is more challenging. Exposures in the work place and other real-world environments can be challenging to control, and in those studies evaluating long-term effects of noise, the subjects are exposed to variable non-study noise sources. Exposures in the laboratory that induce temporary changes in human hearing carry their own challenges. In this lecture, we will discuss various human models for studies on the effects of noise, and we will present new data on temporary hearing changes in human subjects that listen to music with digital audio players. Several metrics used to measure the effects of noise will be discussed. |
