Proposed additions/changes

I am planning on adding a Prevention section (personal protection and other methods of noise reduction), replace the Risk Factors section with a "Causes" section, including both industrial noise and ototoxic cehmicals, depending on how much information on the latter that I can find. And expand the history section. I'll either incorporate the existing information or add citations since none currently exist outisde of hte introduction. Then after the rest is done, I'll re-do the intro to reflect the new additions. Gerkenke (talk) 01:22, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Gerkenke, that sounds great! I look forward to seeing your work. And there is also WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health if you are interested in other aspects of OSH as well. James Hare (NIOSH) (talk) 11:24, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I am leaving the 'History' section for now and just adding my new 'background', I'm not sure how to mesh them just yet. The intro I think I have pared down enough, and moved some of that information into the background, or eliminated it. Otherwise I have added my Prevention and Causes sections! Gerkenke (talk) 04:58, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Gerkenke, your edits have added a lot to this page. One suggestion would be to elaborate on the Noise Causes section- it's not completely clear what a dB is, how it may be measured, and how one would know they're at risk/what types of activities may lead to hearing loss in the workplace. Joberndorfer (talk) 14:16, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

I would like to add some info smart phones to the measurement devices part. Also could add a couple refs. - 18:30, 5 October 2016 (UTC)Leon8711 (talk)National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. (1998).

peer review

This article is well written and the information is clearly understood. All the sections in the article use reliable sources that support the topic well. I agree with the previous comments that further information on how sound is measured could be included in the article. Also, examples of various occupational noises that are found in a workplace could be added into the article. Lastly, the article could include current regulations (if any) on how long workers can be exposed to specific noise levels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aekuzmik (talk • contribs) 14:54, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
