Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 6 page paper investigating the relation of hearing loss to cigarette smoking. Hearing loss and smoking would appear not to be related physically, given the information we have about the effects of smoking. The purpose here is to review the few studies that have been done and to draw some conclusions about the possible relationship. Research shows that it may be that hearing loss and smoking are closely related, not in biochemical relations but in the common environments in which both exist simultaneously. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Hearing loss and smoking would appear not to be related physically, given the information we have about the effects of smoking. Though not many
have had the idea in the past, a few seem to have wondered whether there is any relationship. The purpose here is to review the few studies that have
been done and to draw some conclusions about the possible relationship. Hearing Loss and Cardiovascular Measures In an old study published in 1989,
Gold, Haran, Attias, Shapira and Shahar (1989) investigated noise-induced hearing loss. The authors report that to that time, there had been no explanation for the fact that workers exposed
to the same levels of workplace noise do not respond to that noise in the same ways in terms of hearing loss. Some will develop noise-induced hearing loss while
another in the same environment will not. In the late 1980s, a controversial proposal was made attempting to link noise-induced hearing loss and biochemical and cardiovascular factors.
Gold, Haran, Attias, Shapira and Shahar (1989) sought to discover whether there was any relationship among these factors in their study of 800 men.
All of the study subjects were men who had been in the military for an average of 20 years. Half of the men had noise-induced hearing loss, half had
normal hearing. The researchers subjected all of the study participants to the same battery of tests, comparing the results of measures of one group to the results of measures
to the other. The measures that Gold, Haran, Attias, Shapira and Shahar (1989) assessed are those known to be linked with cardiovascular health,
