Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the second most common cause of sensorineural
hearing loss, after age-related hearing loss, and affects approximately 5% of the world's …

The purpose of this article is to review relevant literature on the effect of mild traumatic brain
injury (mTBI) and blast injury on the vestibular system. Dizziness and imbalance are …

Despite our understanding of the impact of noise-induced damage to the auditory system,
much less is known about the impact of noise exposure on the vestibular system. In this …

The mandate of the International Commission on Biological Effects of Noise (ICBEN) is to
promote a high level of scientific research concerning all aspects of noise-induced effects on …

Maintaining balance relies on integration of inputs from the visual, vestibular, and
proprioceptive systems. The auditory system has not been credited with a similar …

Acoustic sensitivity of the vestibular apparatus is well-established, but the contribution of
vestibular receptors to the late auditory evoked potentials of cortical origin is unknown …

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most prevalent occupational disease in the world
and firefighters are at increased risk of NIHL due to their frequent exposure to hazardous …

Firefighters are exposed to extensive hazardous noise while on the job, both during routine
tasks at the station and when responding to calls. However, little is known about firefighters' …

Some individuals with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) also report balance problems.
These accompanying vestibular complaints are not well understood. The present study used …

Introduction Occupational workers are increasingly aware of the risk of noise overexposure
to the auditory system but lack awareness about potential risks to the vestibular system. The …
