The aim of this study was to analyze, in patients with chronic tinnitus and long-term occupational noise exposure, (A) characteristics of hearing loss, tinnitus, comorbidities, demographic characteristics and a history of work-related noise exposure and (B) differences among individuals employed in occupations with high and low risk of developing work-related noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). One hundred thirty six patients with chronic tinnitus and at least a 10 year-long working history were divided into two groups based on the risk of their profession to induce NIHL. Individuals employed in jobs at high risk for NIHL were mostly males and exhibited a poorer hearing threshold, more evident in the left ear. Tinnitus was mostly bilateral; the next largest presentation was left-sided; patients described their tinnitus as buzzing or high-pitched. Correlation between age, length of tinnitus and worse hearing was found. Patients with a higher degree of hearing impairment were mostly males and were more likely to have a family history of hearing loss and at least one cardiovascular comorbidity. Our study shows some differences in individuals with tinnitus and a history of a profession associated with increased exposure to NIHL compared to those without such a history.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph14091035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,8]],"date-time":"2017-09-08T11:34:52Z","timestamp":1504870492000},"page":"1035","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Work-Related Noise Exposure in a Cohort of Patients with Chronic Tinnitus: Analysis of Demographic and Audiological Characteristics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8776-0421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Massimo","family":"Ralli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00186 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Paola","family":"Balla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Histology, Legal Medicine and Orthopaedics, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale Regina Elena 336, 00161 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4824-9871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Greco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sense Organs, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00186 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giancarlo","family":"Altissimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sense Organs, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00186 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pasquale","family":"Ricci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Histology, Legal Medicine and Orthopaedics, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale Regina Elena 336, 00161 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rosaria","family":"Turchetta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sense Organs, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00186 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Armando","family":"De Virgilio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sense Organs, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00186 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"De Vincentiis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sense Organs, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00186 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Serafino","family":"Ricci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Histology, Legal Medicine and Orthopaedics, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale Regina Elena 336, 00161 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giancarlo","family":"Cianfrone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sense Organs, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00186 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"19","article-title":"Detection and clinical diagnosis of noise-induced hearing loss by otoacoustic emissions","volume":"3","author":"Attias","year":"2001","journal-title":"Noise Health"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"446","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.20223","article-title":"The global burden of occupational noise-induced hearing loss","volume":"48","author":"Nelson","year":"2005","journal-title":"Am.
