Abstract
Measurements of the cochlear response of guinea pigs exposed to 15 min. of jet-engine noise showed auditory impairment throughout the frequency range, with partial recovery up to 3 weeks following exposure. There is a lowered injury threshold even for moderately intense sounds following the exposure, and some evidence of continued degeneration up to 6 weeks after exposure. It is concluded that risk to auditory sensitivity is present in personnel exposed to jet engine noise. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
