AB The  hearing  mechanism,  being  very  sensitive  to  sound  stimuli,  is  also  quite  susceptible  to  injury.  Many  workplaces  are  hazardous  to  hearing  health  due  to  exposure  to  (1)  noise,  (2)  physical  trauma,  and/or  (3)  toxic  materials.  Each  of  these  elements  comprises  a  section  in  this  chapter.  The  focus  is  noise  damage,  however,  as  it  is  far  and  away  the  most  prevalent  type  of  occupational  auditory  injury.  The  final  section  discusses  medicolegal  aspects  of  occupational  hearing  loss.
