It's always nice to find an audiology article in the newspaper since it doesn't happen quite often enough, at least in my opinion. However, in the past year I have noticed a slight increase in news about noise-induced hearing loss.
"Like an earplug in a pill," published in the Los Angeles Times on July 2, 2007, discusses noise-induced hearing loss and otoprotectants.
Here is a snippet of the article. You can read the full article at: http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-he-lab2jul02,1,4407246,full.story
"TED AX knows he should wear earplugs when he leans into the noisy engine compartment of an MG sports car. He's been working among clanging metal and whirring power tools in garages for the last 15 years and has already developed tinnitus, a ringing in the ears that is one of the most common symptoms of hearing loss caused by excessive noise."
