Background:

  • Noise exposure is a significant occupational hazard.
  • Understanding the physical properties of noise is crucial for assessing its harmful effects.
  • Noise-induced damage requires clear diagnostic criteria.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define noise and its harmful physical characteristics.
  • To detail the etiopathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnostic methods for noise-induced damage.
  • To present legislative and medico-legal considerations of noise pathology.

Main Methods:

  • Definition and characterization of noise properties.
  • Review of etiopathogenesis and clinical manifestations.
  • Establishment of diagnostic criteria including anamnesis and audiometry.
