Abstract | [Abstract]: The literature of permissible noise exposure limits is briefly surveyed. Prescriptions for the prevention of noise induced hearing loss, common to all of the surveyed exposure limits, are summarised. A nomogram, invented for the purpose of highlighting health and productivity benefits inherent in preventive action against noise induced hearing loss, and which incorporates the common prescriptions summarised from the survey of exposure limits, is described. The nomogram is applied in an industrial setting to reveal health and productivity benefits so substantial that they may not easily be ignored. |
