Noise exposure in the fire department

This paper discusses noise exposure to firefighters on the job and whether this contributes to noise induced hearing loss.

Effect of stimulus intensity on cortical potentials in cochlear implant recipients

Cortical auditory evoked potentials were recorded in cochlear implant recipients and in individuals with normal hearing using a speech stimulus. Responses were acquired over two test sessions to investigate between group differences and test repeatability. Results indicate significant differences in N1-P2 latency and amplitude measures between cochlear implant recipients and individuals with normal hearing.
