Noise And Type of Works in Beauty Salons and Its Effects on The Health of It Is Workers

Abstract

This research aims to evidence the effect of noise and long-time standing on the hearing and the skeleton system of the workers and find a method to reduce the noise in the beauty salon, and know if the geometrical design of the beauty salon affects the noise level. The measured parameters in this research include hearing tests, Sound level, the intensity of the sound of the hair drier, and the type of pain in the skeletal system also estimated. Different devices were used in this research, such as a tuning fork for two tests, first was the Weber test, Where the fork was placed in the middle of the upper teeth. It compares at any tip the vibration up is in the left or right or even ،the second was The Rinne test compares the perception of sounds spread by air conduction with that of bone conduction concluded the mastoid. Also, the sound meter that is used to measure the intensity of the hair drier and the noise level measures the length, width, and height of each salon. The results showed that there is serious sensorineural hearing loss among the workers, up to 70%, and there is 40% of conductive hearing loss, 60% of them has shoulder pain, 65% have problems in the neck, and 50% have back pain in addition to some sleep disorders.
