Life expectancy study shows many likely to live beyond 90 by 2030 Small ponds have outsized impact on global warming: study Vitamin D can protect against colds, flu: study claims Death in the air: Pollution-related fatalities see sharp rise in Vietnam Urban noise pollution and hearing loss are closely linked, according to rankings of 50 large cities in both categories released on Friday. High-decibel urban areas -- such as Guangzhou, New Delhi, Cairo and Istanbul -- topped the list of cities where hearing was most degraded, researchers reported. Likewise, cities least afflicted by noise pollution -- including Zurich, Vienna, Oslo and Munich -- registered the lowest levels of decline in hearing. This statistical link does not necessarily mean the constant din of city life is the main driver of hearing loss, which can also be caused by infections, genetic disorders, premature birth, and even some medicines. The findings are also preliminary, and … [Read more...] about City noise linked to hearing loss – study
