Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and factors of worker behavior, including age, the use of ear protection, work duration, a record of diabetes mellitus or hypertension, work rotation, and noise hazards involved in hearing loss in PT. X at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study from May 2017 to June 2017 involved 73 workers in the power service area (TZ Unit) exposed to noise levels <85 dBA and ≥85 dBA, using an audiometry test for hearing loss and Sound Level Meter for noise hazards was conducted. The Chi-square test showed a significant correlation between age (OR 8.4, 95% Cl = 1.6-44.1), work duration (OR 7.6, 95% Cl = 0.9-67.2), and the use of ear protection (OR 7.8, 95% Cl = 1.4-44.2) with hearing loss in workers in the power service area. The multivariate analysis revealed that workers exposed to a noise level of 85 dBA had a 1.7 times greater risk of hearing loss than workers exposed to a noise level of <85 dBA after controlling for age, work duration, use of ear protection, medical history, and work rotation.

苏加诺-哈达国际机场工人的听力损失特征

本研究旨在分析印度尼西亚苏加诺-哈塔国际机场PT.X工作人员行为的特征和因素，包括年龄、护耳用具的使用、工作时间、糖尿病或高血压记录、工作轮换以及听力损失的噪音危害。2017年5月至2017年6月的一项横断面研究涉及电力服务区（TZ装置）73名暴露于<85 dBA和≥85 dBA噪声水平的工人，使用听力损失测试和噪声危害声级计进行了研究。卡方检验显示，年龄（OR 8.4，95%Cl=1.6-4.1）、工作时间（OR 7.6，95%Cl=0.9-67.2）和使用护耳器（OR 7.8，95%Cl=1.4-44.2）与供电区工人的听力损失之间存在显著相关性。多变量分析显示，在控制了年龄、工作时间、护耳用具的使用、病史和工作轮换后，暴露在85 dBA噪声水平下的工人的听力损失风险是暴露在<85 dBA噪音水平下的员工的1.7倍。
