Noise Levels in hospitals increase
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA have studied how typical noise levels have developed in hospital environments.
Professors Ilene Busch-Vishniac and James West have reviewed previous studies on hospital noise as well as conducted an extensive field study at different sites of the Johns Hopkins University Hospital confirming the conclusion from previous studies.
The findings were presented at ASA/NOISE-CON 2005 meeting in October.
