Abstract:Hearing loss is one of the most severe health effects of noise with 1.3 billion affected people worldwide (1). However, health effects of noise go far beyond hearing. The so-called non-auditory effects of noise include annoyance reactions of the exposed population, sleep disturbance, school children’s learning impairment, and cardiovascular disease like an increased risk for hypertension and myocardial infarction. (2). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), circa 1.6 million healthy life years are lost annually due to non-auditory effects of environmental noise in the Western European member states alone (3).
