Hearing Loss among High School Farm Students.

Broste, Steven K.; And Others

American Journal of Public Health, v79 n5 p619-22 May 1989

Audiometric threshold testing of 872 vocational agriculture students carried out over a three-year period indicates an increased prevalence of hearing loss among students actively involved in farm work. Use of hearing protection may reduce the risk of hearing loss, although few students report using such devices. (Author/BJV)
