AB The  hearing  mechanism,  being  very  sensitive  to  sound  stimuli,  is  also  very  susceptible  to  injury.  Many  workplaces  are  hazardous  to  hearing  health  due  to  exposure  to  (1)  noise,  (2)  physical  trauma,  and/or  (3)  toxic  materials.  Each  of  these  elements  comprises  a  separate  subchapter  in  this  review.  The  majority  of  the  review  is  focused  on  noise  damage  as  it  is  far  and  away  the  most  prevalent  type  of  occupational  auditory  injury.  The  final  section  discusses  some  medicolegal  aspects  of  occupational  hearing  loss.
