Psychopharmacology of the Response to Noise, with Special Reference to Audiogenic Seizure in Mice

  • Chapter
Physiological Effects of Noise

Abstract

Troubles induced by intense noise can affect various physiological functions: cardiovascular or circulatory systems, sleep, endocrines, reproduction, susceptibility to infection. One of the most obvious harmful effects of noise is its influence on the nervous system. The first nervous system damages induced by noise are located at its most peripheral level: the ear. Very loud and long lasting noises can give auditory troubles going as far as total deafness. The only protection against these injuries is to obstruct the ears, as done in airfields, for example. But noises loud enough to induce injuries at the auditory level can, however, be very harmful for the nervous system and can give troubles going from an abnormal excitability to loss of sleep and to a real nervous breakdown. The degree of nuisance of this overstimulation is felt differently according to different individuals and is closely related to the state of their nervous system; a defect in it can sensitize to noise and lead to more or less important disorders.
