ARC 507: Environmental Control III (Acoustics and Noise Control) Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria ARC 507: Environmental Control III (Acoustics and Noise Control) Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria SUMMARY This topic explains the main adverse health effects of noise: damage to the hearing mechanism, known as noise– induced hearing loss (NIHL); and tinnitus. Also covered are other agents that can damage hearing: ototoxic substances; diseases; and the ageing process.

ARC 507: Environmental Control III (Acoustics and Noise Control) Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria ARC 507: Environmental Control III (Acoustics and Noise Control) Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria agents of hearing damage Hearing damage may result from several agents – both occupational and non – occupational: Noise – occupational (called occupational noise- induced hearing loss). Noise–non – occupational (called Sociocusis) Ageing – (Presbyacusis). Diseases and infections (collectively called Nosoacusis). Ototoxic hazardous substances in the work place.

ARC 507: Environmental Control III (Acoustics and Noise Control) Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria ARC 507: Environmental Control III (Acoustics and Noise Control) Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria NOISE – INDUCED HEARING DAMAGE Acoustic Trauma It is defined as damage to the ear resulting from a single exposure or relatively few exposures to a very intense level of sound (peak level greater than dB), usually impulsive in nature, e.g. explosions. Acoustic trauma may cause: damage to the eardrum; damage to the ossicles; and mechanical damage to the hair cells.

ARC 507: Environmental Control III (Acoustics and Noise Control) Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria ARC 507: Environmental Control III (Acoustics and Noise Control) Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria OTHER CAUSES OF HEARING LOSS Ototoxic Agents This means ‘toxic to the ear’. Certain medications or chemical agents in the workplace can damage the ear cells in the inner ear. Over 200 agents have been reported as ototoxic. These include: antibiotics such as streptomycin; quinine; and salicylates such as aspirin.

Workplace ototoxic agents include: solvents such as benzene, toluene, butanol, trichloroethylene; and arsenic, lead, cobalt, mercury, and lithium.

Many systemic and hereditary diseases can cause hearing loss. Among these are: rubella, meningitis, diabetes, renal disease, rheumatoid arthritis and Meniere's disease.

A series of changes occur in the auditory system as humans age. These include: loss of hair cell. degeneration of the stria vascularis. loss of spiral ganglion cells in the auditory nerve. degenerative changes in the central auditory nervous system.
