The series entitled Advances in Noise Research has developed from the European Commission Concerted Action Programme on Protection Against Noise (PAN) The first volume in the series is devoted to the biological effects of noise and covers six main topics: physiological mechanisms, diagnosis, otoacoustic emissions, tinnitus, pharmacology and non–auditory effects in relation to noise.
