Short-Haul Truckers, Long-Term Noise Exposure

  • Resumen

  • MPH student Rosemelly Jimenez Medal comes from a family of truckers—her father has worked as a short-haul trucker for over 25 years. The cab of a commercial truck can be a noisy place, and she noticed that her father was having trouble hearing conversations at the family dinner table. Could there be a link between his job and his hearing loss?

    To find the answer, Jimenez Medal teamed up with her father and noise researcher Erica Walker, RGSS Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Brown University, to conduct hearing screenings on short-term truckers in her home state of California.

    Host Megan Hall interviews Jimenez Medal and Walker to discuss their project and their findings.
