LARGE VARIATION IN NIHL PRESENT MODELS? ISO AGE A-WEIGHTED EQUIVALENT LEVEL GENDER

The variation in NIHL according to ISO1999

RISK FACTORS CAUSING EFFECTS TO HEARING

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY TO EVALUATE THE ROLE OF VARIOUS RISK FACTORS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NIHL TO UTILIZE THE RESULTS IN ESTABLISHING THE HEARING CONSERVATION PROGRAM, NOISESCAN

STUDY POPULATION N=552 PAPER MILL WORKERSN=285 SHIPYARD WORKERSN=168 FOREST WORKERSN=99 MEANSTD SYSTOLIC BP (mmHg)13617 DIASTOLIC BP(mmHg)8612 CHOLESTEROL LANIIN(dB)999 LANIOUT (dB)1076 SMOKINGY/N PAIN KILLERSY/N VWFY/N

1 risk factor =Significant difference at 95 % level

At least 3 risk factors No significant changes

RESULTS NOISESCAN USED AT SELECTED WORKPLACES IN THE MINE INDUSTRY, CAR MANUFACTURING, THE PAPER AND PULP INDUSTRIES, AND MILITARY OCCUPATIONS PRELIMINARY RESULTS SHOW THAT THE SYSTEM IS VERY APPLICABLE AND HELPS OHC IN ESTABLISHING HCP

NOISESCAN HELPS IT PREDICTS INDIVIDUAL NIHL IT INCREASES ACCURACY OF EXPOSURE ESTIMATIONS IT SHOWS THE PROTECTION EFFICIENCY OF HPD’s IT CAN BE USED TO COMPARE THE EFFICIENCY OF HCP ACTIONS IT CAN BE USED TO DEVELOP INDIVIDUAL HCP IT UNIFORMS CLINICAL PRACTICES IT SHOWS THE ROLE OF CONFOUNDING FACTORS IN NIHL

HOW TO GET IT? DEMO VERSION IN VERSION 2 IN EXPERIMENTAL USE, AVAILABLE ON CD NEW VERSION AVAILABLE AUTUMN 2000 APPLICABLE BOTH FOR CLINICAL WORK AND RESEARCH PURPOSES
