Abstract

Background & Aim: Excessive occupational NOISE exposure is a major cause of HEARING IMPAIRMENT in workers in industrial settings. TEXTILE industry with different machines is considered as a NOISE producer industry. Material & Methods: In this study, sound analyzing and measurement performed for SPINNING and WEAVING machines used in a TEXTILE plant in the city of Semnan (1997). All NOISE-exposed workers with at least 5 years work record, as the test group (n=70) completed audiometry and their results compared with non-exposed administrative personnel (n=30).Results: The results showed that average sound level of all SPINNING and WEAVING machines were higher than 85 dBA, except for two cotton beating machines. WEAVING machines had higher sound pressure level than SPINNING machines in all octave bands (63-8000 Hz). Sensory hearing loss was more prevalent in the test group in spite of less mean age and work record than control group. Only 20% of the workers sometimes used earplugs as Hearing Protection Device (HPD).Conclusion: Based on this study and previous researches, it is concluded that gross occupational NOISE exposure is a common and serious problem in industrial mills in Iran.
