Abstract

Noise is one of the most common environmental hazards to which people are exposed,and the exposure to noise can cause not only hearing but also non-hearing damage.Although noise under safety limits may not affect the auditory system,it can cause changes in stress hormone levels,which is harmful to health.However,the current studies about the impact of noise on health mainly focus on the auditory system,and little is known about the relationship between noise and stress hormone levels.Therefore,this paper reviews the studies involving noise exposure and stress hormone levels,aiming to provide ideas for strengthening the prevention and control of noise hazards.

噪声是人们最常接触到的环境有害危险因素之一,暴露于噪声不仅会导致听觉损害,还会造成非听觉损伤。安全标准下的噪声可能不会对听觉系统造成影响,但会使应激激素水平发生改变,从而危害身体健康。然而目前关于噪声对健康影响的研究主要集中在听觉系统,缺乏对噪声与应激激素水平关系的研究归纳。故本文对噪声暴露与应激激素水平的相关研究进行综述,为加强对噪声危害的预防控制提供思路。.
