Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses impact of occupational noise on hearing health in wood cutters, highlighting role of otorhinolaryngology nurses in public health education.

Key Points

  • Majority of sawmill workers lack awareness about risks of occupational noise exposure on hearing health.
  • Noise levels at sawmill machines ranged from 105–115 dB, exceeding safe limits, posing a risk for noise induced hearing loss.
  • Cross-sectional assessment identified poor use of hearing protective devices among workers at Bodija plank market.
  • Otorhinolaryngology nurses could play a crucial role in promoting public health education and awareness on hearing protection.
