Abstract excerpt
Chronic exposure to noise is a detrimental environmental factor that can contribute to occupational noise-induced deafness (ONID) in industrial workers. ONID is caused by both environmental and genetic factors, and negatively impacts workers and manufacturing industries in China. Polymorphisms in the paraoxonase 2 gene (PON2) is associated with noise-induced hearing loss, and PON3 expression may modulate...
