If you think you have "gotten used to" the noise you are routinely exposed to, then most likely you have already suffered damage and have acquired a permanent hearing loss. Noise induced hearing loss is usually gradual and painless, but, unfortunately, permanent. Once destroyed, the hearing ne...
Pictures are necessary but not sufficient: using a range of visual methods to engage users about school design. Learning Environ. Res 2010, 13, 1–22. [Google Scholar] Woolner, P. The Design of Learning Spaces; Continuum: London, UK, 2010. [Google Scholar] Sharp, S; Blatchford, P. ...
Namely, not only did AS-IV reduce the inflammatory levels in the noise-exposed mice and regulate their intestinal flora, but it also reduced the noise-induced loss of outer hair cells and slowed noise-induced hearing loss. We established an NIHL mouse model by exposing the mice to 103 dB ...
After the 5threcall task the participants completed a final recognition task. Pictures of the same 20 aliens from the learning phases were displayed one at a time together with either their correct three word name or the full three word name of another alien viewed in the session. Participants...
In an effort to reduce Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) in the mining industry, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is conducting research to develop noise controls for mining equipment whose operators exceed the Permissible Exposure Level (PEL). The process involves ...
This car was chosen to minimize the noise induced by engine and exhaust and focus on the tire–pavement interaction. The Prius hybrid has an electric vehicle (E.V.) mode up to 60 km/h (~37 mph). The tire size is 185/65R15 (Pirelli Tire), and the air pressure in the tire is 44...
Figure 4 presents two pictures of specimens with these two heights, after being mounted in the anechoic room in the laboratory. Figure 4. Small-scale sonic crystal noise barrier prototypes, made of wood logs, mounted in the acoustics laboratory of the DEC-UC: (a) barrier 0.6 m tall; (b)...

Noise pollution negatively impacts people’s mental and physiological health. Unfortunately, not only is noise present in hospital environments, but its level frequently exceeds recommended thresholds. The efficacy of passive acoustic absorbers in reduci
