Clinical Trial: Fatigue and Hearing Performance of Healthy Volunteers Acutely Exposed to Occupational Noise ( FATIGAUDIT)

U.S., May 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07604077) titled 'Fatigue and Hearing Performance of Healthy Volunteers Acutely Exposed to Occupational Noise ( FATIGAUDIT)' on May 05.

Brief Summary: Occupational noise exposure is regulated by law, and protective measures are applied if the noise level exceeds 90 dB(A). The inferior exposure levels can cause an auditory fatigue which is defined as temporary and reversible hearing loss. Its mechanisms, however, remain largely underexplored with recent animal data suggesting that the long-term exposure (over several weeks) to noise above 85 dB Sound Pressure Level (SPL) may provoke a permanent damage to hearing. Furthermore, there is also a lack of re...
