Definitions
• Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong
time (Park & Park)
• Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent sensori-
neural deafness due to single exposure to an
intense sound (130-140dB) of < 0.2 sec
• Chronic Noise Induced Hearing Loss = gradual
SNHL due to years of exposure to noise
![Page 3: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
History
• Ramazzini (1713): reported NIHL in copper workers
• NIHL recognized in US, Germany & UK in 1870s
• Thomas Barr of Glasgow (1886): did first survey
• Habermann (1890): histology of NIHL in cochlea
• Fowler (1929): first to comment on 4 kHz dip
• Bunch (1939): audiometric features of NIHL

Epidemiology• 30 million adults in United States are exposed to
hazardous occupational sound levels (National
Institute for Occupational Safety & Health, 2000).
• Among these 30 million, 1 in 4 will acquire a
permanent hearing loss (American Academy of
Audiology, 2003).
• 50 % of male miners have hearing loss by age of
50 & 70 % by age of 60 (NIOSH, 2001).

Clinical Features of N.I.H.L.
• Similar to early ototoxicity & presbycusis
• Early NIHL limited to high frequency: no symptom
• First symptom: trouble in speech comprehension
with loud background noise
• As NIHL progresses, patients have difficulty in
understanding high-pitched voices (women &
children) even in quiet conversational situations
![Page 12: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Clinical Features
• Telephonic conversation is unimpaired because
telephones don’t use frequencies > 3000 Hz
• Many patients experience tinnitus & hyperacusis
• Post-exposure tinnitus & temporary deafness are
warning signs of impending permanent NIHL
![Page 13: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Impact of noise on children
• Household noise retards cognitive development of
children b/w 7-24 months. Brains of children cope
with loud noise by sound filtering which also
includes human speech. This leads to retardation
of intellectual skills.
• Foetus also may suffer from effects of noise.
![Page 14: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Characteristics of chronic NIHL (Dobie, 1990)
![Page 15: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Always sensorineural, symmetric & bilateral.
• Greater SNHL present at 3, 4, & 6 kHz, with
recovery at 8 kHz ***. Usually greatest at 4 kHz.
***Presbyacusis has no recovery at 8 kHz
• Isolated NIHL is never > 75 dB in high
frequencies or > 40 dB in lower frequencies.
• Rate of hearing loss in chronic NIHL is greatest
during first 10-15 years of exposure & decreases
later as hearing worsens. Hearing loss does not
progress after noise exposure is discontinued.
![Page 16: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Commonest cause of asymmetric NIHL is
exposure to firearms. Right-handed shooters have
more severe left ear deafness (left ear faces barrel
while right ear is in acoustic shadow of head).
• Similarly, Tractor operators look over their right
shoulder, exposing their left ear to noise of prime
mover + exhaust & their right ear gets shielded.
![Page 17: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Acoustic head shadow
![Page 18: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Auditory Effects of Noise
• Per-stimulation fatigue or Adaptation:
Noise exposure of > 90 dB elevates hearing
threshold temporarily, especially at 4 kHz
• Post-stimulatory fatigue:
• Temporary Threshold Shift (reversible)
• Permanent Threshold Shift (irreversible)
![Page 19: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Temporary Threshold Shift
• Exposure to loud noise for seconds to hours may
cause SNHL that recovers within 16-24 hours.
• Magnitude of TTS depends on:
• More intense sounds lead to larger shifts.
• Speech frequencies (500-3000 Hz) are most
susceptible to TTS.
• Interrupted exposures cause less TTS than
continuous exposures.
![Page 20: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Permanent Threshold Shift• Repeated TTS over weeks, months & years fail to
recover completely & become noise-induced
permanent threshold shift (NIPTS)
• NIPTS is measured by subtracting amount of
hearing loss to be expected due to aging from
hearing threshold level
• Amount of NIPTS & frequencies involved depend
primarily on same parameters, as for TTS

Factors influencing N.I.H.L.
![Page 30: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1. Frequency: noise b/w 2-3 kHz more damage
2. Intensity & duration of exposure: noise > 85 dBA
for 8 hr time weighted average is unsafe
3. Intermittence: intermittent noise with quiet
intervals is safer than
steady noise
4. Age: children & elderly are more prone to NIHL.
Presbyacusis has additive effect not
synergistic.
5. Sex: males are more prone than females to NIHL
![Page 31: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
6. Individual Susceptibility: Tender ears are more
prone to NIHL than tough ears due to difference in:
Genetic: Ahl gene E.A.C. skin elasticity
area ratio of TM:stapes mass of ossicles
tension of stapedius outer hair cell density
basilar membrane stiffness cochlear vascularity
endolymph composition psychological
![Page 32: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
7. Experience: Green ears have bigger NIPTS than
those exposed to noise before (ripe ears). NIPTS
can be reduced by adding prior exposure at lower
levels (toughening or conditioning of ear).
8. Conductive deafness: gives protection (?) against
NIHL as less sound gets conducted to inner ear
9. Ototoxic drugs: enhance NIHL
![Page 33: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
10. Vibration: Raynaud phenomenon es NIHL
11. Absent Stapedial reflex: es NIHL for lower
frequency
12. Melanization: Albinos are more prone to NIHL
13. Diabetes mellitus, Hyper-cholesterolemia,
Cardiovascular disease: increase risk of NIHL (?)
14. Smoking: increase risk of NIHL (?)
15. Deep sea divers: are more prone to NIHL
![Page 34: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Patho-physiology
NIHL damage is explained by:
• Macro-mechanical theory
• Micro-mechanical theory: produced by high
intensities
• Biochemical theory: produced by moderate
intensities
![Page 35: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Macro-mechanical theory
• Traveling sound wave produces movement of
basilar membrane
• Central part of basilar membrane undergoes
maximum rocking vibration. This part houses
outer hair cells (especially inner row) hence they
are subjected to maximum damage.
![Page 36: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Micro-mechanical Damage
Temporary Threshold Shift: moderate swelling of
hair cells + shortening of rootlets of hair cells +
small vacuoles in supporting cells
Permanent Threshold Shift: marked swelling of hair
cells + fracture of rootlets of hair cells + large
vacuoles in supporting cells + damage to outer
hair cells + damage to inner hair cells
![Page 38: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Biochemical Damage
• Micro-mechanical damage causes interruption of
normal chemical gradient of cochlea which leads
to ionic poisoning
• Noise activity induced vaso-constriction leads to
cochlear ischaemia
• Metabolic exhaustion of activated hair cells
![Page 40: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

4 kHz (Boilermaker’s) notch, C5 dip
• characteristic audiometric
pattern of early NIHL.
• If exposure is continued,
notch gradually deepens
& widens.
• 4 kHz notch also seen in
head injury, barotrauma
or even in absence of any
explanatory history.
![Page 44: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Reasons for 4 kHz notch1. Natural resonance of EAC being 2-3 kHz, 150% of
this produces maximum damage between 3-5 kHz
2. Protective effect of acoustic reflex below 2 kHz
3. Intermittent noise is more damaging for 3-5 kHz
4. Outer hair cells of 3-5 kHz region are more prone
to oxidative stress, have reduced vascularity (?)
& ed oxygen consumption (?)

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)
• Spontaneous OAE: Sounds emitted without
stimulus. Presence indicates hearing < 25 dB HL.
• Transient evoked OAE: Sounds emitted in response
to short duration click stimulus. Presence = < 35 dB HL
• Distortion product OAE: Sounds emitted in
response to 2 tones of different frequency & intensity.
Presence = < 50 dB HL. Good for higher frequencies.

Auditory Evoked Potentials
• Auditory Brainstem Response: 1.5-10 ms post
stimulus; originates in 8th cranial nerve (waves I & II)
up to lateral lemniscus & inferior colliculus (wave V)
• Middle Latency Response (MLR): 25-50 ms post
stimulus; arises in upper brainstem & auditory cortex
• Slow Cortical Response: 50-200 ms post stimulus;
originating in auditory cortex

Cortical Evoked Response Audiometry (CERA) or P1-N1-P2 response
• good specificity over speech frequency range
• recorded from higher auditory level than BERA, so
less subject to organic neurological disorders
• CERA must be done to evaluate accurate hearing
threshold in pt with flat audiogram & hearing
threshold of > 25 dB at 500 Hz
![Page 56: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Multiple Auditory Steady-state Evoked Response audiometry
• Are responses to rapid stimuli where brain response to
one stimulus overlaps with responses to other stimuli
• Gives rapid, frequency specific & objective hearing
assessment by giving 4 continuous tones to each ear
• Slow rate responses (<20 Hz) arise in cortex & faster
rate responses (>70 Hz) originate in brainstem

Definitions
• A scale (dBA): gives more weight to frequencies
b/w 1 to 5 kHz & less weight to other frequencies
• Time Weighted Average (TWA8): noise level (dB) if
kept constant for 8 hours would have same risk of
NIHL as briefer noise exposure in question
• Noise dose (D): Percentage of maximum allowed
noise exposure throughout the working day
![Page 64: Noise Induced Hearing Loss Dr. Vishal Sharma. Definitions Noise = wrong sound, in wrong place, at wrong time (Park & Park) Acoustic Trauma = sudden, permanent.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551665ff550346a2698b5355/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

• Sound power doubles for each 3-dB increment
• Frequent intermittency in occupational noise
exposures, reduces risk of NIHL. Thus:
• O.S.H.A. reduces Permissible Exposure Level
(PEL) by 50% for every 5-dB increment
• 8-hour exposure at 90 dBA, 4-hour exposure at 95
dBA, 2-hour exposure at 100 dBA are considered
equally hazardous.

Proper use of Ear Plug
1. Roll earplug up into a small, thin "snake".
2. Pull your ear up & back with other hand & slide
in rolled-up earplug.
3. Count to 20 loudly while waiting for earplug to
expand & fill ear canal. Your voice will sound
muffled when earplug has made a good seal.
4. Check fitting of earplug. Most of foam body of
earplug should be within ear canal.
