Some volatile aromatic solvents have similar or opposite effects to anesthetics in the central nervous system. Like for anesthetics, the mechanisms of action involved are currently the subject of debate. This paper presents an in vivo study…

Occupational noise can damage workers' hearing, and the phenomenon is even more dangerous when noise is associated with an ototoxic solvent. Aromatic solvents are known to provoke chemical-induced hearing loss, but little is known about the…

Neuropharmacological and cochleotoxic effects of styrene can worsen the noise impact on the peripheral auditory receptor (Campo et al., 2014). The mechanisms by which co-exposures to noise and styrene impair hearing are complex: there is a long…

Both noise and styrene are damaging for the organ of Corti. Since the solvent is often present with noise, this co-exposure must be considered as a typical framework for workers risk assessment. If styrene impairs the cochlea by a long process, it…

Abstract
Introduction
Occupational noise exposure can damage workers' hearing, particularly when combined with exposure to chemicals such as styrene. Although styrene-induced cochlear impairments become apparent after a long incubation…

Background: Noise is one of the most pervasive hazardous factors in the workplace. Despite regulations, noise-induced hearing loss is a common disease. To prevent such a scourge, pure-tone air-conduction audiometry (PTA) is the reference test…
