 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 Altitude hypoxia environment firecracker noise on the normal development of children the impact of hearing [Abstract] Objective: To understand the impulse noise produced by firecrackers on the high altitude environment, the impact of normal growth and hearing children. Methods: 71 cases of Qinling Mountains, Qinghai Lake around 50 cases of normal development in pastoral areas, close contact with each of the noise of firecrackers in more than three school-age (612 years) children, field testing full-frequency hearing threshold, and in 50 cases of children in Nanjing As a control, comparative analysis of hearing status. Results: The male children of mountain and highland rural poor ultra-high frequency hearing; exception of a few low-frequency, the plateau is relatively hypoxic environment and plains between the mountain men, no significant difference in children’s hearing. Three female children, except for a few low-frequency hearing things no significant difference. Conclusion: The relatively high altitude hypoxia does not affect the development of women in the normal hearing children; through the auditory contrast to the relatively high altitude hypoxia environment firecrackers impulse noise exposure on male children, the extent of hearing loss is not higher than the mountain plain.

Methods: Seventy  one and 50 children were selected from the Qinling mountain area and the pasturing area around Qinghai Lake respectively. All of them were normal growth children (6 to 12 years old) who had experienced firecrackers’ noise over 3 times per year. In addition, 50 children from Nanjing city were included in this study. The entire frequency auditory threshold was examin
