Il est bien tabli que de nombreux solvants industriels peuvent provoquer une d pression du syst me nerveux central, caract ris e par de la somnolence, des tats d bri t , des baisses de concentration et de coordination, ce qui peut augmenter les risques…

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. The purpose of this in vivo study was…

Many industrial chemicals and clinical compounds are toxic to the inner ear. Some preferentially target the cochlea or vestibular structures, whereas others are harmful to both. The reasons behind these distinct ototoxic profiles remain poorly…

Context: Professionals of the music sector are frequently exposed to sound levels above 100dB(A). Hearing disorders are highly prevalent in these workers. Assessment of auditory fatigue could help identify deleterious situations for hearing…

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…

Outline of reasons and objectives
In its recommendations on protecting the hearing of employees exposed to noise of occupational origin, the Noise Directive 2003/10/EC does not take into account the nature of the noise, i.e. whether it is steady-state…

The olivocochlear and stapedial reflexes are both involved in hearing physiology: the first one is mainly dedicated to the high frequency discrimination, whereas the second protects the cochlea by contracting the middle-ear muscles. In the…
