Abstract

The name Elliott Berger has appeared on the covers of the 4th, 5th, and 6th editions of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Noise Manual since 1986. As principle editor for the 4th and 5th editions and co-editor of the 6th edition (2020), Elliott's contributions extend beyond the written words, but to the personal connections that attracted premier authors to contribute chapters. The 4th edition was one of AIHA's best selling texts with over 13 000 copies in print, and the 800 page 5th edition (2000) was selected by the AIHA Publications Committee as “Outstanding 2000 Technical Committee Publications,” and as “Top-Selling Technical Committee Publication for the years 2000 and 2001. The chapters have reached readers from multiple disciplines beyond the AIHA industrial hygiene membership, including occupational health and safety, medicine, nursing, audiology, engineering and public health. The chapters are used in college courses and research labs globally to train future professionals in hearing conservation. This accomplishment is noteworthy in terms of the dedication, expertise, precision and perseverance that Elliott exhibited over the past 34 + years. We're honored to give tribute to the “Noise MANual.” Conflict of Interest Statement: The presenters are co-editors of the 6th Edition of the Noise Manual.
