Noise exposure in the operating room

This paper discusses a study done to determine noise levels in operating rooms

A comparison of physical measurements of pure-tones, third-octave bands of noise and third-octave bands of speech to subjective judgments of audibility threshold, MCL and UCL for three normally hearing listeners

This study investigates the relation between physical measurements of pure-tones, third-octave bands of noise and third-octave bands of speech and subjective judgments of auditory threshold, most-comfortable listening level (MCL) and uncomfortable-listening level (UCL) for three normally hearing listeners.

Noise levels and hearing conservation in a water treatment facility

This paper describes a study assessing the sound levels and noise exposures of a municipal water treatment plant to determine the level of employee noise exposure dosages and to make any necessary recommendations regarding reducing the risk of noise induced hearing loss in employees.

Role of alpha synuclein in noise induced hearing loss

The recent discovery of the contribution of alpha synuclein in the auditory system prompted further investigation of its functional role. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) and gap detection testing were completed on wild-type and transgenic M83 mice to assess the role of alpha synuclein in noise-induced hearing loss and central auditory function.

The effectiveness of noise cancellation headphones for hearing impaired listeners

This paper discusses the use of noise cancellation headphones for hearing aid users to reduce background noise in order to improve speech discrimination.

Bone-conducted tones masked by air-conducted noise

This paper presents a study designed to develop and evaluate a method for obtaining monaural thresholds for bone-conducted signals masked by air-conducted noises.

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.

Differences in performance in noise between conventional hearing aids and radiant multimicrophone beamforming technology

This paper discusses the results of a study to determine the differences between hearing aids and radiant beamforming technology.

Psychophysical estimation of the effective level of internal noise in the auditory system

This paper reviews a study to examine signal detection in the auditory system.

Detection of words in real-speech background noise by profoundly deaf children

This paper discusses a study to assess the performance of profoundly deaf children in detection tasks with speech as the background noise.

Noise exposure impact in a manufacturing environment: A hearing conservation program needs assessment

This paper examines a study conducted to evaluate the impact of occupational noise exposure and the role of a hearing conservation program in the occupational setting.

Noise exposure in basketball officials: A pilot study

The focus of this study was to measure the noise exposure that high school basketball referees experience during games.

Noise exposure levels of high school music teachers

This paper examines the effects of noise on high school music teachers.

Noise exposure in high school aged youths and distortion product otoacoustic emissions

This paper discusses the effect of noise exposure on high school aged boys' hearing levels and how to measure the effects.

Dimensions of the acoustic reflex as measured in a background of noise

This study examines whether background noise, presented at 10 dB below its reflex threshold, affects the acoustic reflex (AR) response for pure tones presented subsequent to the onset of the noise.
