Abstract

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) occurs as a result of long term exposure to workplace noise. The aim of the study was to identify job positions with an increased risk of hearing impairment due to occupational noise exposure, by analyzing changes in audiometric findings over a six-month period of work under conditions with elevated noise levels. The study included participants exposed to workplace noise and participants working in a quiet environment, employed in the same companies but in different job positions. Audiometric examinations were conducted at baseline and after six months of follow-up. Paired and independent-samples t-tests were applied. A statistically significant difference in hearing loss was found among participants exposed to occupational noise during the six-month period (t = 4.84, df = 35, p
