An estimation of the whole-of-life noise exposure of adolescent and young adult Australians with hearing impairment
Abstract
Since amplified music gained widespread popularity, there has been community concern that leisure-noise exposure may cause hearing loss in adolescents and young adults who would otherwise be free from hearing impairment. Repeated exposure to personal stereo players (PSPs) and music events (e.g., night-clubbing, rock concerts and music festivals) are of particular concern.
