“…In a study carried out byAbulude et al (2018), ON is taken as a nuisance occupational exposure. On the contrary, inGunny et al's (2018) study, ON is seen as a distressing workplace noise exposure. Therefore, the following hypothesis was formulated:…”

Background: The significance of how occupational noise can influence attitudes towards occupational noise exposure, susceptibility to hearing loss and job performance has generally been neglected in the past studies.Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of occupational noise on attitudes towards occupational noise exposure, susceptibility to hearing loss and job performance of manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) workers in Zimbabwe.Method: A survey was conducted involving 250 respondents, including manufacturing SME workers, and the hypotheses were analysed by applying structural equation modelling.Results: Occupational noise had a positive and significant effect on attitudes towards occupational noise exposure and perceived susceptibility to hearing loss amongst manufacturing SME workers. In addition, attitudes towards exposure to occupational noise and the perceived susceptibility of hearing loss have had a positive and significant impact on manufacturing SME workers’ job performance.Conclusion: The novelty of the research is its analysis of occupational noise as an indicator of attitudes towards occupational noise exposure and susceptibility to hearing loss as well as job performance. This study provides practitioners with beneficial implications. Collective knowledge on occupational noise could help manufacturing SME managers in recognising the perceptions of employees on occupational noise and how it ultimately affects job performance. Moreover, this study is intended to add new knowledge to the current body of African occupational noise literature – a context that has not received much research attention in developing countries.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a global health problem, often underestimated, and leads to permanent hearing loss. The prevalence of NIHL in adolescents has increased in line with the increasing use of cell phones. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of NIHL and analyze the population at risk (age, gender, and school) in adolescent students. The study design was a cross-sectional study. A total of 510 students consisting of female, n=288 and male, n=222; junior high school, n=203 and senior high school, n=307 were used as research subjects. This study was conducted on August-October 2015 at Darul Ihsan School, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. An audiometry examination was performed to determine the diagnosis of NIHL. Data analysis was using descriptive analysis and independent sample t-test(p<0.05). The results of this study were the prevalence of NIHL in adolescents aged 11-20 years was 18.88%. The highest percentage of NIHL was at the age of 15 years (34.57%). The number of NIHL was significantly higher (p=0.000*) in males (24.32%) compared to females (9.37%). The prevalence of NIHL was significantly higher (p=0.00*) in senior high school children (26.11%) compared to that in junior high school children (9.12%). In conclusion, the highest prevalence of NIHL was at the age of 15 years. NIHL was more common in male than in female students. NIHL was higher in high school students compared to junior high school students. The NIHL was related to age, gender, and school level.
