I Found An Interesting Article on, ((( Smiles )))

The Effects of occupational exposure to mercury or chlorinated hydrocarbons on the auditory pathway..
In Noise & Health..

http://www.noiseandhealth.org/article.asp?issn=1463-1741;year=2002;volume=4;issue=16;spage=71;epage=77 ;aulast=Shlomo

This study examined the possible sub-clinical central nervous system (CNS) alterations in workers with long term exposure to low levels of mercury or CH.

Also something about auditory neuro-sensory response in children and adults.
ABR tests serve as an objective method for evaluating the integrity of the ascending brainstem auditory tracts and nuclei, and measuring neural transmission capacity.
And that  ABR may provide a sensitive tool for detecting subclinical central neurotoxicity caused by mercury.

And The results of the present study suggest subclinical damage at the level of the lower brainstem after chronic exposure to mercury or solvents.

And it said: Thus, it seems that even those levels of neurotoxic agents considered being safe and inert to worker's health might cause subclinical neurologic dysfunction in long-term exposures.

I know in the Pink Disease Children now adults they have a high incident of abnormalty sound sensitivity problems..
And also in autism sound sensitivity problems are seen as well as in other so called medical disorders (symptomatic ).. 
It's food for thought in this world we live in today.
What can effect the auditory system and can cause us to be unwell..
Something to be looked into for sure..
