“…There is a lot of evidence that workers who are exposed to excessive noise in the workplace have a higher risk of accidents [3]. Hearing loss is the most important and definite effect of noise [4]. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) due to prolonged exposure to high levels of noise and age-related hearing loss (Presbycusis) are major health problems that are very common, and their lasting effects and impact on the quality of human life are impressive [5].…”

After controls, including engineering and management, the final way to control noise is to use hearing protection devices. Due to the lack of a standardized questionnaire regarding investigating workers' use of hearing protection devices on the basis of the BASNEF behavioral model, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of health education based on the BASNEF model on the use of hearing protection devices in workers of an automobile manufacturing plant in Iran. This quasi-experimental and prospective intervention study was performed on 80 workers at an automobile manufacturing plant who are exposed to noise levels above 85 decibels and do not use hearing protection devices. In this study, 40 people working in a cast iron foundry were selected as the intervention group, and 40 working in aluminum casting were chosen as the control group. Questionnaires were analyzed at the beginning of the intervention and three months after the intervention in the intervention and control groups. There was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups before the intervention. There was a significant difference between the intervention and control groups after the intervention in the area of knowledge. A significant correlation was observed between the intervention and control groups after the intervention program in all areas of the BASNEF educational model except behavioral intention. In this study, the effect of educational intervention on the use of hearing protection devices was investigated, and with the educational intervention, it was tried to get help from influential people and enabling factors in education based on the BASNEF model. The results showed that the educational intervention based on the BASNEF model can improve the knowledge of individuals in both the intervention and control groups.

“…Noise pollution can cause aggression, hypertension, high stress levels, tinnitus, sleep disturbances, and other harmful effects. [6][7][8][9] Hearing loss caused by exposure to recreational and occupational noise results in devastating disability Noise-induced hearing loss: It is a type of sensorineural hearing loss that begins at higher frequencies (3 kHz to 6kHz) and gradually develops as a result of chronic exposure to excessive sound. Even though the loss is typically symmetric and bilateral, noise from such sources as firearms or sirens may produce 1.…”
