Risk versus benefit: Should not audiologists assess this in the context of occupational noise-induced hearing loss in the mining industry?

摘要

Hearing conservation programmes (HCPs) are an important aspect of occupational health efforts to prevent occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL). In low- and middle income (LAMI) countries, where the incidence of ONIHL is significant, it is important to deliberate on the risk or benefit of HCPs.
