This analysis estimates the first nationally representative prevalence of noise-induced hearing threshold shifts among U.S. children. The results of this analysis suggest that children are being exposed to excessive amounts of hazardous levels of noise, and children's hearing is vulnerable to these exposures. - Reply to letter to the editor: noise-induced hearing loss.
