Premature infant responses to noise reduction by earmuffs: effects on behavioral and physiologic measures

Author(s): Zahr, L.K., de Traversay, J.
The continuous high-intensity noise in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is both stressful and harmful for the premature infant. Although some researchers have found evidence that loud noise can cause hearing loss and alter physiologic and behavioral responses, no study to date has investigated the benefits of noise reduction by the use of earmuffs. In this study earmuffs were placed over...
