TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Change of working place in occupational noise JO - ORL: journal for oto-rhino-laryngology and its related specialties A1 - Probst, R. SP - 21 EP - 24 VL - 38 IS - Suppl 1 N2 - Nowadays noise in industry cannot be eliminated by technical means alone. Therefore, exposed workers have to wear an ear protector to prevent the occurrence of deafness caused by professional noise. Patients with chronic otitis media and permanent or intermittent otorrhea should avoid the prolonged use of ear protectors. On principle, such patients are not allowed to work in a noisy environment (inaptitude for noisy employment/change of occupation) unless the contraindication for use of ear protectors can be eliminated by therapeutic means (such as operation).
