Industrial noise induced hearing loss in Hong Kong : a comparative study / W.A. Evans and Hui Yat Ming

Sumario: The relatioship between noise exposure and hearing loss was investigated in five groups of industrial workers in Hong Kong. Audiometric examinations were made on textile weavers, textile spinners, metal workers, aircraft maintenance crews and workers in a bottling factory. Noise surveys were conducted in each of the work environments. Audiometrics examinations were also made on a control group consisting of workers in non-noisy occupations. The results were compared with data obtained from similar made in Western countries
