Occupational Emergency Medicine, pp 225-238
11 Feb 2011
Abstract
Hearing loss due to occupational noise exposure is our most prevalent industrial malady. Many of the patients seen in emergency departments for chief complaints other than hearing loss nevertheless are likely to suffer from hearing impairment caused or exacerbated by conditions at their workplaces. Emergency physicians may be faced with a complex confluence of factors that make management of acute otological complaints challenging when caring for workers presenting to an emergency department. This chapter discusses the broad concepts involved in occupational hearing loss and its management.
