At present, the recreational noise may be the most common non-occupational noise. Methods: Twenty-two patients with recreational hearing loss were encountered in the past 5 years. This paper also records the noise levels of some popular but noisy place in Taiwan; including live band pub - rock concerts - discotheque - KTV pacchinko, and walkman personal listening device. Results: All cases were acute acoustic trauma from recreational noise exposure. Tinnitus, fullness sensation and dizziness were frequent associated symptoms. Their audiograms showed asymmetric and variable hearing loss, and were quite different from noise-induced hearing loss. Conclusions: Part of recreational activities have the potential for dangerous levels of noise exposure. Therefore, overexposure should be prohibited to prevent hearing loss. |
