The harmful auditory effects of noise are well known. However, little is known about the status of the vestibular function in chronic noise exposure without noise induced hearing loss. Our objective was to assess the vestibular function in chronic noise exposure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was conducted with a sample size of 242 (chronic noise exposure group \u2212 121, group without chronic noise exposure \u2212 121). Noise estimation was carried out across various traffic intersections to assess the noise exposure levels of the exposed group. All participants underwent a detailed vestibular evaluation in the clinical vestibulometry laboratory.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There was no difference in nystagmus, saccades, caloric function between the two groups. The latency and amplitude of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) were similar in both the groups. However, dynamic posturography showed a significant difference in the Adaptation test between the two groups (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05). We also found a statistically significant difference between the static and dynamic subjective visual vertical (SVV) and the dynamic visual acuity (DVA) between the two groups (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We did not find any clinical evidence of vestibular dysfunction in the noise exposed group. However, the statistical significance of SVV and DVA as seen in this study needs to be evaluated further as an early marker for vestibular dysfunction. It remains to be seen whether the statistically significant prolongation is reversible after the noise exposure is withdrawn.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/nah.nah_40_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,15]],"date-time":"2022-12-15T10:01:55Z","timestamp":1671098515000},"page":"231-236","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Cross-Sectional Study on the Effect of Chronic Noise Exposure on the Vestibular Function of Traffic Policemen and Automobile Drivers"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Soumyajit","family":"Das","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vinoth Kumar","family":"Kalidoss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satvinder Singh","family":"Bakshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seepana","family":"Ramesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1325","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61613-X","article-title":"Auditory and non-auditory effects of noise on health","volume":"383","author":"Basner","year":"2014","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"R2-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"429680","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/429680","article-title":"Sound sensitivity of the saccule for low frequencies in healthy adults","volume":"2013","author":"Emami","year":"2013","journal-title":"ISRN Otolaryngol"},{"key":"R3-3-20240908","first-page":"19","article-title":"Sub-clinical effects of chronic noise exposure on the vsetibular system","volume":"31","author":"Viola","year":"2020","journal-title":"Transl Med UniSa"},{"key":"R4-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"523","DOI":"10.4103\/1012-5574.206022","article-title":"Assessment the effect of noise on the sacculocolic pathway using vestibular evoked myogenic potential","volume":"33","author":"Elbeltagy","year":"2017","journal-title":"Egypt J Otolaryngol"},{"key":"R5-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.4103\/1463-1741.64973","article-title":"Vestibular evoked myogenic potential in noise-induced hearing loss","volume":"12","author":"Kumar","year":"2010","journal-title":"Noise Health"},{"key":"R6-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.4103\/2314-8667.149015","article-title":"Chronic noise exposure: impact on the vestibular function","volume":"01","author":"Emara","year":"2014","journal-title":"Adv Arab Acad Audiovestibul J"},{"key":"R7-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2021","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-012-2270-6","article-title":"Sequence of vestibular deficits in patients with noise-induced hearing loss","volume":"270","author":"Tseng","year":"2013","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"R8-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"593919","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2020.593919","article-title":"Effects of noise exposure on the vestibular system: a systematic review","volume":"11","author":"Stewart","year":"2020","journal-title":"Front Neurol"},{"key":"R9-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"458","DOI":"10.1097\/AUD.0b013e3182498c5f","article-title":"The effect of noise exposure on the cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential","volume":"33","author":"Akin","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ear Hear"},{"key":"R10-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1586","DOI":"10.1097\/MAO.0b013e31826bedbc","article-title":"Association between hearing loss and saccular dysfunction in older individuals","volume":"33","author":"Zuniga","year":"2012","journal-title":"Otol Neurotol"},{"key":"R11-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"358","DOI":"10.5152\/iao.2017.4214","article-title":"Evaluation of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential in subjects with chronic noise exposure","volume":"13","author":"Abd El-Salam","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Int Adv Otol"},{"key":"R12-3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1080\/23311916.2019.1666629","article-title":"Noise level analysis to reduce noise exposure at PT.
