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.

Movies as a source of non-occupational noise exposure

This paper examines the noise levels of movies and whether or not movie theater sound levels may be hazardous to audience members.

A retrospective study assessing the relative clinical value of performing VRA versus ABR on infants between the ages of seven and twelve months

This paper discusses a study to test two methods of hearing screening for infants--visual reinforcement audiometry and auditory brainstem responses.

The effects of noise exposure on rock bands

This paper describes a study undertaken to study noise levels of rock music.

Promoting social skills in hearing impaired children ages 11 - 14

This paper presents a project teaching social skills to hearing-impaired children ages 11 to 14. Three categories of social skills are included - sportsmanship, sharing, and cooperating – and are practiced by means of recreational and leisure activities and through role plays.

Noise exposure in school-age children

This paper discusses a study to determine the average level of noise exposure for school children on a typical school day.

Changes in distortion-product otoacoustic emissions in chinchilla after intermittent noise exposure

This paper discusses the distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) of chinchillas when exposed to noise.

The effects of noise exposure on nitric oxide synthase knockout mice

This paper studies the role of nitric oxide (NOS 1, NOS 2, and NOS 3 genes) in the mouse cochlea and in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Mice genetically deficient of the NOS 2 and NOS 3 genes were protected from NIHL, indicating that one or both of these genes may be responsible for producing nitric oxide that damages the inner ear when exposed to harmful levels of noise.
