Long-term exposure to LFN may lead to vibroacoustic disease (VAD), which not only affects a specific organ but the physiological function of entire systems, such as the auditory, phonatory, respiratory, and cardiac systems. Moreover, VAD may lead to many psychological problems and hence affect the quality of life.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Objective\u2003To investigate the adverse effects of LFN on hearing, acoustic and perceptual correlates of the voice, blood pressure, cardiac rate, and anxiety level.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Method\u2003A total of 20 subjects exposed to LFN and 20 not exposed to LFN were included, and a detailed case history was recorded. The patients were submitted to pure tone audiometry, otoscopic examination, acoustic and perceptual analyses of the voice, maximum phonation time, and an assessment of the s\/z ratio. We also assessed blood pressure, and the results of a voice-related quality of life questionnaire and of the Hamilton anxiety rating scale.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The results indicate that LFN had an adverse impact on the high-frequency threshold. The present study found a significant difference in shimmer and harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR) values. Few subjects had high blood pressure and showed the sign of anxiety on the Hamilton anxiety rating scale.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Low-frequency noise has adverse effects on entire systems of the body and causes many psychological issues, which, in turn negatively affect quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1750160","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,2]],"date-time":"2022-08-02T06:25:08Z","timestamp":1659421508000},"page":"e478-e486","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Audiological, Phonatory and Cardiac Correlates of Individuals Exposed to Low-Frequency Noise or at Risk of Vibroacoustic Disease"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0306-4961","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Himanshu","family":"Verma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Speech and Hearing Unit, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2099-7608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jyoti","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, Ashtavakra Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences & Research, Rohini, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9756-7473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Apurva","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, Listening Ears, Jasola, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4822-8429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shakshi","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology & Speech Language Pathology, SGT Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Gurugram, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1806-3731","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bhawna","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, Angels Foundation, Gurugram, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9247-7882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bhanu","family":"Shukla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee, United States"},{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems, University of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"03","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"247","DOI":"10.1016\/S0377-1237(09)80015-4","article-title":"Prevalence of Noise Induced Hearing Loss in Indian Air Force Personnel","volume":"65","author":"S Nair","year":"2009","journal-title":"Med J Armed Forces India"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref2","first-page":"1217","article-title":"[Hearing loss by continuous exposure to high sound pressure among maintenance workers at a Brazilian Air Force helicopters unity]","volume":"22","author":"A M Ribeiro","year":"2006","journal-title":"Cad Saude Publica"},{"key":"ref3","volume-title":"SEM and TEM study of rat respiratory epithelia exposed to low frequency noise","author":"N A Castelo Branco","year":"2002"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1945.00680030356003","article-title":"Effect of aircraft noise on hearing","volume":"41","author":"B H Senturia","year":"1945","journal-title":"Arch Otolaryngol"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.4103\/2230-9748.141460","article-title":"Voice acoustic profile of males exposed to occupational infrasound and low-frequency noise","volume":"4","author":"A P Mendes","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Laryngol Voice."},{"issue":"03","key":"ref6","first-page":"A63","article-title":"Airflow limitations in patients with vibroacoustic disease","volume":"70","author":"R MJ Ferreira","year":"1999","journal-title":"Aviat.
