Funded Activity Summary

This project will provide comprehensive nationally-representative data on the issue of hearing loss at work. We will undertake a large national survey to determine how many Australians are exposed to noise and ototoxic chemicals in the workplace and will use these data to estimate the future burden of work-related hearing loss. We will also estimate how changes in the use of noise control measures could alter the burden and the costs.
