Introduction : Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is an occupational disease caused by continuous long-term acute exposure to intense noise with a noise intensity level higher than 85 dB(A). Noise being one of the potential hazard in the workplace, is the most common risk factor for health problems (22%), after workplace injuries (40%). The aim of this work is to synthesize evidence on risk factors related to NIHL among the manufacturing industries workers. Methods: This systematic review was conducted in the electronic search trough databases: SCIENCE DIRECT, PUBMED and GOOGLE SCHOLAR using appropriate keywords related to the theme. The keywords used in the databases were: “faktor risiko noise induced hearing loss” “industri” for national database, “noise induced hearing loss” AND “risk factors’’ AND “industry” for international databases. Results: 1.175 studies were identified from the search, thus 1.049 were screened following the removal of duplicates. Title and abstract were screened, resulting in 1.049 articles being removed, 212 articles left for full text assessment and 20 articles met the inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Risk factors for NIHL among manufacturing industry workers include noise intensity, years of service, duration of exposure (hours), age, hypertension, risk behaviors and Hearing Protection Device (HPD) usage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
