在我们的工业化世界中,我们为职业性、娱乐性和环境性噪音所环绕。大噪音损伤内耳感受器并导致听觉丧失、在有背景噪音存在的情况下出现继发性沟通问题,并且可能导致社会 隔离。关于噪音暴露,公众对于由于高阈听觉神经问题损伤而引起的听力问题长期结果远远不如对暂时的听觉丧失 这方面的了解多。这方面的早期暴露,例如在新生儿重症监护室,会在年长之后有所表现,有时是以听觉丧失,更多的是听觉障碍。而关于重复性日常暴露于同一种低水平职业性或娱乐性声音,其对听觉大脑造成的变化我们了解的更少。众所周知,这种低水平但持续的环境噪音暴露会影响演讲理解,并产生非听觉问题,如烦躁、抑郁和高血压,还导致认知困难。此外,内部噪音,例如耳鸣,对大脑的作用与外部低水平噪音相似。《噪音和大脑》讨论并提供关于内在大脑机制、及潜在的预防或减轻这些噪音暴露所引起的异常大脑变化的方式这方面的综述。

In our industrialized world, we are surrounded by occupational, recreational, and environmental noise. Very loud noise damages the inner-ear receptors and results in hearing loss, subsequent problems with communication in the presence of background noise, and, potentially, social isolation. There is much less public knowledge about the noise exposure that produces only temporary hearing loss but that in the long term results in hearing problems due to the damage of high-threshold auditory nerve fibers. Early exposures of this kind, such as in neonatal intensive care units, manifest themselves at a later age, sometimes as hearing loss but more often as an auditory processing disorder. There is even less awareness about changes in the auditory brain caused by repetitive daily exposure to the same type of low-level occupational or musical sound. This low-level, but continuous, environmental noise exposure is well known to affect speech understanding, produce non-auditory problems ranging from annoyance and depression to hypertension, and to cause cognitive difficulties. Additionally, internal noise, such as tinnitus, has effects on the brain similar to low-level external noise.
Noise and the Brain discusses and provides a synthesis of hte underlying brain mechanisms as well as potential ways to prvent or alleviate these aberrant brain changes caused by noise exposure.
