Tiivistelmä
This systematic review of predictors of noise-induced hearing loss found 12 studies that followed hearing loss of workers exposed to noise over time. Older workers had a higher rate of hearing loss than younger workers with a similar level and duration of exposure. It was not clear if this effect could be fully attributed to the noise exposure. Also previous noise exposure led to a higher rate of hearing loss compared to no previous exposure. For other factors the evidence was inconsistent. At the moment, it is not possible to predict noise-induced hearing loss based on individual characteristics.
