Wikifying work

I added section headings as well as I could. They seem to make sense (to me). I also added a bunch of links where it seemed relevant (to me), in places where further reading might aid the reader. The big "todo" now, I think, is to turn all the references placed in the text into footnotes. If I learn how to do that, I'll come back and try it out. Perhaps once that is done the "Wiki" tag can be removed? This article seems pretty good to me, worth the effort. human 21:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

USA centric

I don't know if there is a tag for this that would draw editors to come hear and improve the file. I would like to see statistics about its prevalance in other countires, and especially addition of standards in other countries to the workplace section (it only references the US OSHA right now) human 21:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hidden Hearing Loss

A sub category to cover this new term should be included — Preceding unsigned comment added by TMorata (talk • contribs) 15:28, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

TWA?

The mentions of "TWA" in the "Workplace Standards" section would benefit from having what "TWA" stands for spelled out.

Musicians and hearing loss

I wrote a 2-sentence blurb about hearing loss for musicians, and I was wondering if I was allowed to post it in this article. It's pithy and well referenced, so I was hoping there could be a space for it here. Thanks! Hsh8 (talk) 20:47, 15 June 2009 (UTtthjhgv JjjjTC)

Irecommend caution not call music noise. perhaps the creation of a new page on auditory effects of music, to include tinnitus would be a better approach TMorata (talk) 15:37, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Delayed reaction to Envirornmental Noise

It isn't uncommon for hearing damage from Environmental Noise to show up years, or even decades after the noise. I was exposed to naval gunfire (a 5"/54 naval rifle) back in '72, but the hearing loss didn't manifest itself until 2006. (The VA accepted my claim that it's service connected.) Alas, I'm only a layman with nothing except my own experience to back this up. If anybody has references to this it might be a good thing to add to the article.JDZeff (talk) 21:16, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Humans

Humans have a sado-masochist streak when it comes to noise because they damage their hearing as a form of entertainment by exposing their ears to noise of up to 150 decibels. Examples are parades, concerts, fireworks. The medical profession says it is damaging but people think that this is wierd, so they take no notice.

How Instrument Type affects Hearing Loss Among Musicians

Has anyone considered adding a section that includes how instrument type and hearing loss relate among musicians? Chandramaas (talk) 03:36, 17 October 2016 (UTC)chandramaai[reply]

Adding to Acute Acoustic Trauma Section

Hi All,

I was planning on extending the section of acute acoustic trauma with a focus on blast induced hearing loss. At this time, I approximate the addition to be about 4-6 sentences long. I have found a number of review articles for this summary. If you have the time, please look over this list of review articles. Thank you!

Epidemiology

Hello, I am planning to update/revise the section about the epidemiology of NIHL. The article by Shargorodsky (2010) is cited a few times. I plan to remove this article and the discussion of this data, as it was determined after publication that the data was incorrectly analyzed and the rates of NIHL in teens has not increased significantly. The data is (correctly) re-analyzed by Henderson et al. (2011), so I will be citing this data, which showed no significant change in the NIHL rates of this age group.
