Are Young Bus Drivers at a Risk of developing NIHL?? A Preliminary Study

Abstract
Noise can damage hearing and is associated with a number of psychological problems that can contribute to stress and also depression related symptoms. In heavy motor vehicles, as noise is usually experienced simultaneously with vibration there is a combined assault from both sources. This is particularly for bus and lorry drivers who already experience elevated stress levels from the traffic environment and time pressures of the work. This deterioration is the result of traffic congestion and its associated air and noise pollution along with the pressure of maintaining a demanding schedule in circumstances making the task more difficult (Corr�a et al, 2002). Keywords- Heavy Motor Vehicle, Developing NIHL, Traffic Environment and Time Pressures.
