Noise raises blood pressure without impairing auditory sensitivity

Noise raises blood pressure without impairing auditory sensitivity

E A Peterson et al. Science. .

Abstract

Two rhesus monkeys, exposed continuously to realistic patterns and levels of noise for 9 months, exhibited sustained elevations in blood pressure that did not return to baseline values after the noise ended. Auditory brainstem responses, measured before and after exposure, indicated no change in auditory sensitivity.
