Individuals employed at pig breeding facilities are exposed to potentially harmful noise from several sources. In a building housing about 1,100 pigs, the animals themselves were found to produce a sustained noise level between 95 and 104 dBA during the feeding procedure. High-pressure cleaners used for cleaning the buildings generate between 98 and 105 dBA. We present a case of typical noise-induced hearing loss, which, with reasonable certainty, can be ascribed entirely to this kind of noise exposure. General use of hearing protectors in the profession is recommended.
在养猪场工作的人员会接触到来自多种来源的潜在有害噪音。在一个容纳约1100头猪的猪舍中，发现猪在进食过程中产生的持续噪音水平在95至104分贝（A）之间。用于清洁猪舍的高压清洁器产生的噪音在98至105分贝（A）之间。我们报告了一例典型的噪声性听力损失病例，可以合理确定地将其完全归因于这种噪音暴露。建议该行业普遍使用听力保护器。
