An etiologic paradigm of hearing loss for industrial workers is introduced as having two major components, one being occupational and the other extra-occupational. The extra-occupational factors include age, noise exposure outside the work place, trauma, ear disease and ototoxic drugs. The work-related factors include occupational noise, whole body vibration, work-related diseases and toxic exposures. Within this framework, a review of the epidemiology of hearing loss examines the possible relationships between hearing loss and these factors.
本文介绍了一种针对产业工人听力损失的病因学范式，该范式有两个主要组成部分，一个是职业性的，另一个是非职业性的。非职业性因素包括年龄、工作场所以外的噪声暴露、创伤、耳部疾病和耳毒性药物。与工作相关的因素包括职业噪声、全身振动、与工作相关的疾病和有毒物质暴露。在此框架内，对听力损失流行病学的综述考察了听力损失与这些因素之间可能存在的关系。
