Noise and Hearing

By Richard Williams, Linda M. Luxon, Ronald Hinchcliffe, et al.

Ageing processes aside, excessive noise exposure remains the commonest cause of damage to hearing. Despite a voluminous body of knowledge in this area, health education, legislation and hearing conservation programmes have failed to have a satisfactory impact. This applies in both the developed and the developing world. The factors governing the development of permanent noise-induced shifts in the threshold of hearing are diverse and poorly understood, leading to controversy amongst both doctors and lawyers.
