Importance of Noise Dosimetry
The incidence of hearing loss has been growing steadily. While this condition was once mainly confined to elderly subjects, it has become common in younger people, even affecting teenagers and pre-teens. Deafness can have various causes. Until the mid-twentieth century, infections and, perversely, some of the antibiotics used to treat them were common culprits, along with congenital causes. However, today, noise dosimetry, a technique for measuring ambient sound intensity, confirms that the most common cause is prolonged and repeated exposure to deafening noises.
