Hubungan Intensitas Paparan Bising Dan Masa Kerja Dengan Gangguan Pendengaran Pada Karyawan PT. X
Abstract: Noise exposure can
cause hearing loss types of conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss
or deafness mix. Noise exposure in the
long term and exceeds the NAB may cause damage to the cochlea which will result
in sensorineural deafness. Conductive hearing loss caused by exposure to noise
intensity that occur within a short time can cause trauma to the outer ear to
the eardrum and middle ear. This was an observational cross sectional design.
The sample in this study were employees of PT. X with inclusion criteria.
Collecting data using tools such as questionnaires and for hearing loss was
measured using a audiometer. The results by Chi-Square test showed significant
relation between noise exposure with hearing loss (p = 0.001; PR 2.7 (95%CI :
1.3-5.2) Have a significant relationship between the period of work with
hearing loss (p = 0.000; PR 3.3 (95%CI : 1.9-5.9). The stratification analyze
can be conclude variables ear disease history, period of work, family history,
age it’s not counfounding, whereas length of employment it’s counfounding to
the noise exposure and hearing loss as well as increase the risk of hearing
loss. Noise exposure and period of work is risk factor for the hearing loss in
PT. X
