Maaban


Maaban is a remote populated place in Ghana. Its coordinates are: Latitude : 59′ 0″ N; Longitude : 13′ 0″. Tribesmen from Maaban were studied by Rosen in a seminal study proving that hearing loss is primarily associated with exposure to elevated sound levels, rather than a function of ageing. Rosen's work also showed that high sound levels were responsible for a statistical elevation of blood pressure.
