| Abstract |
On the basis of the audiological data of workers in a steelworks, the authors recommend to pay particular attention in preventive medical examinations to the pharmacological anamnesis of the persons concerned. Among the workers examined and particularly among those with the most marked auditory impairment, gastro-intestinal disorders treated by different drugs not considered ototoxic were found. Systematic research in this direction is suggested to collect sufficient observations to identify which drugs make the ear most vulnerable to noise. |
