Abstract

Background & Aim: Noise is one of the most frequent workplace hazards which can cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), a permanent and irreversible, but preventable disease. In recent years it has been postulated that SMOKING can aggravate NIHL. NIHL compensation costs are very high. In this study we aimed to assess the effect of SMOKING on hearing IMPAIRMENT on workers exposed to noise in wagon manufacturing plant. Materials & Methods: In a cross-sectional study on the workers of a wagon manufacturing plant in 1386, after considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, 252 male smoker and 252 non-smoker workers (matched for other variables) entered the study and compared for hearing IMPAIRMENT. We used AAO formula for measuring hearing IMPAIRMENT. Findings: Binocular hearing IMPAIRMENT was significantly higher in smokers than non-smokers (P<0.001, 95% CI = 4.48-17.84). Multivariate logistic regression (to eliminate confounding factors) also confirmed this significant difference, and showed a direct relationship between the amount of IMPAIRMENT and increased pack/years of SMOKING. Conclusion: We can conclude from the results of this study that SMOKING may play role in causing hearing IMPAIRMENT, so giving up or decreasing the amount of SMOKING may prevent or at least delay hearing IMPAIRMENT.
