Abstract:
A cross-sectional study of occupational noise exposure and high blood pressure was conducted in a group of 1584 workers. Clinical examination, audiograms, and body mass index were compared in exposed and not to noise finding a strong relationship between severe noise induced hearing loss and high blood pressure in all the staff, as it has been marked by different authors. But when we stratify the population in groups of age, we can't find any influence between noise exposure and hypertension, or between the appearing of high blood pressure and noise induced hearing loss.

Sound Intensity Level
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and hence a...
Blood Pressure
The average BP in an adult is typically around 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). In this measurement, the numerator (120) indicates the systolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries during the contraction of the heart's ventricles as blood is expelled. The denominator (80) represents the diastolic...
Assessment of blood pressure in brachial artery(two-step method)
Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
