A study on the correlation between annual noise exposure (ANE) and auditory attention, as well as hearing loss in military personnel.

Background: The accurate processing of auditory signals holds significant importance in military occupations and can be adversely affected by exposure to noise.

Objectives: This study investigates the correlation between annual noise exposure (ANE) and military personnel's auditory attention and hearing loss.

Methods: This study assessed 220 military personnel serving in an armored brigade unit.

Effect of concurrent exposure to noise and hand-transmitted vibration on auditory and cognitive attention under simulated work with construction tools.

. This study aimed to investigate the effects of separate and concurrent exposure to occupational noise and hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) on auditory and cognitive attention. .

Effect of noise and hand-transmitted vibration exposure on hearing and equilibrium under a simulated work environment with building tools.

Background: Construction workers are exposed to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) and/or noise caused by vibrating hand tools in the work environment.

Objective: The present study aims to investigate the effects of exposure to HTV and/or noise on workers' hearing loss and body balance.

Methods: Forty construction workers were exposed to HTV (10 m/s2 rms, 31.

Combined Effects of Noise and Hand-transmitted Vibration on Workers' Muscle and Mental Fatigues in a Simulated Construction Operation.

Background: The frequent use of hand-held vibrating tools by construction workers exposes them to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) and noise. This study investigated the effect of combined exposure to HTV and noise on workers' fatigues under simulated work with a typical building destruction tool.

Methods: The repeated measures study was conducted on 40 construction workers exposed to HTV (5 m/s2 rms with frequencies of 31.
