Raynaud′s phenomenon among men and women with noise-induced hearing loss in relation to vibration exposure

Abstract: Raynaud's phenomenon is characterized by constriction in blood supply to the fingers causing finger blanching, of white fingers (WF) and is triggered by cold. Earlier studies found that workers using vibrating hand-held tools and who had vibration-induced white fingers (VWF) had an increased risk for hearing loss compared with workers without VWF. This study examined the occurrence of Raynaud's phenomenon among men and women with noise-induced hearing loss in relation to vibration exposure. All 342 participant… Show more

“…Fifteen original research articles reporting the results of 17 separate study populations obtained through online database literature searches met the criteria for inclusion in this systematic review. Table 1 summarizes the studies from Canada [ 16 , 17 ], Finland [ [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] ], Japan [ [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] ], Sweden [ [26] , [27] , [28] ], Taiwan [ 29 ], and the United Kingdom [ 30 ]. Search results revealed no study in which the research question of interest (i.e., what is the relationship between hand–arm vibration exposure from occupational use of power and pneumatic hand tools and permanent hearing loss?)…”
