Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) amongst electroplating workers / Adham Jaafar
Introduction:Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a well and long recognized occupational hazard. There still ignorance, amongst majority of people working in industries. Overexposure to noise has been known to cause occupational hearing loss. Besides, resulting injury of occupational hearing loss...
