Assessment of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) of weaving factory workers in West Bengal, India -a pilot study

Assessment of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) of weaving factory workers in West Bengal, India -a pilot study

Auditory health, NIHL, occupational stress, steel weaving factory workers

Excessive noise exposure is one of the majorly considered occupational stressors for industrial workers. The operation of steel weaving machinery producing a high level of noise such as weaving machines, crimping machines, and hydraulic press machines fora prolonged period increases the risk of developing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The main aim of the study was to assess the auditory health of the workers exposed to a high level of noise in a steel weaving factory and the prevalence of NIHL amongworkers
