Abstract
This paper serves as a review of the most recent literature on the effects of chronic noise exposure on the health of human listeners. The auditory effects of occupational and other exposure to noise have been well researched and the prevention and treatment of noise-induced hearing loss is largely understood. However, as the populations of urban areas and large city centers grow, the interest in the non-auditory health effects of exposure to environmental noise such as transportation noise, aircraft noise, and other community noise has also increased. Within the past few years, several new studies have been conducted strengthening the evidence for a link between exposure to high levels of environmental noise and ill-health, especially with regards to cardio-vascular and endocrine health, immune function, sleep loss, and mental health. The research covered in this review is inclusive of human experimental, epidemiological, and mechanistic studies. Additional research will be needed to completely assess an...
