1		Figure 2-29 Distribution and number of noise-induced hearing loss cases in Michigan by source of reports, 1991-2000. During 1991-2000, 17,683 noise-induced hearing loss cases were reported in Michigan. Companies with hearing conservation programs reported the largest number of workers with occupational noise-induced hearing loss. Typically, companies reported standard threshold shifts, whereas the other three sources reported fixed losses of at least 25 dB. (Source: Rosenman and Reilly [2002].)
2		Figure 2-161 Distribution and number of WRA cases for all four SENSOR reporting States (California, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey) by source of report, 1993-1999. Reports from health care professionals were the primary source for identifying cases of WRA during 1993-1999: 88.4% or 2,232 WRA cases were identified through physician reports. (Sources: Harrison and Flattery [2002b]; Tumpowsky and Davis [2002]; Rosenman et al. [2002a]; Valiante and Schill [2002a]; Filios [2002a].)
3		Figure 2-189 Distribution and number of silicosis cases for all three reporting SENSOR States (Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio) by source of report, 1993-1997. During 1993-1997, hospitals were the largest source of reports (74.8%) for identifying the largest proportion of confirmed cases of silicosis (74.8%), followed by health care professionals (15.6%). (Sources: Rosenman et al. [2002b]; Socie and Migliozzi [2002]; Valiante and Schill [2002b]; Filios [2002b].)
