The most current and comprehensive text to cover hearing
conservation programs in occupational, non-occupational, and
educational settings According to the National Institutes of
Occupational Safety and Health, approximately 30 million employees
are exposed to dangerous noise levels at work and an additional

ototoxins such as metals and solvents. Millions of children and
young adults are also at risk for noise-induced hearing loss in
non-occupational settings. Hearing Conservation: In Occupational,
Recreational, Education, and Home Settings is the most current text
to cover all major topics related to noise-induced hearing loss,
including the military, construction, manufacturing, mining,
transportation, the music industry, the home environment, education
settings, and recreational arenas. From the underlying principles
of hearing loss to audiometric testing procedures to assessment of
hearing conservation programs, this book is packed with information
for audiologists and other members of the interdisciplinary team
who provide hearing conservation services for at-risk groups.
Special Features: Many examples of audiometric data, that enhance
understanding of all types of hearing impairment, test procedures,
and standard threshold shift calculations Protocols for
comprehensive audiological, tinnitus, and auditory processing
