摘要

导言本研究旨在调查工人的人口特征分布和听力损失发生率。研究方法研究样本由 160 名参与者组成,研究了各种人口统计学变量。收集并分析了有关年龄、性别、工作经验、工作时间、工作性质和工种的数据。评估了双耳、左耳和右耳的听力损失程度,并研究了不同工种的听力损失发生率。听力图用于评估听力损失程度。本研究的局限性包括样本量较小,以及横断面设计阻碍了因果关系的建立。研究结果大多数参与者为男性,年龄分布显示 30-49 岁年龄段的比例较高。听力损失程度主要集中在双耳、左耳和右耳。军人的听力损失发生率最高,其次是建筑工人、司机、木匠和面包师。逻辑回归分析表明,年龄、糖尿病(DM)、工作年限和当前工作年限的预测能力有限。然而,没有接受过正规培训是导致潜在听力损失可能性增加的一个重要因素。结论研究结果强调了在评估工人听力损失患病率时考虑人口特征和职业因素的重要性。研究结果强调,有必要在工作场所开展职业培训计划并提高对听力保护措施的认识,以降低听力损失的风险。

Occupational Noise-Induced Hearing Loss in the City of Mosul: A Cross-sectional Study
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of demographic characteristics and the prevalence of hearing loss among workers. Methods: The study sample consisted of 160 participants, and various demographic variables were examined. Data regarding age, gender, work experience, work hours, work nature, and work type were collected and analyzed. The degrees of hearing loss in the bilateral, left, and right ears were assessed, and the prevalence of hearing loss among different work types was examined. Audiograms were utilized to assess the degrees of hearing loss. The limitations of this study include a small sample size, and the cross-sectional design preventing causal relationships. Results: The majority of participants were male, and the age distribution showed a higher representation in the 30-49 years age range. The degrees of hearing loss were predominantly intermediate in the bilateral, left, and right ears. Military personnel had the highest prevalence of hearing loss, followed by builders, drivers, carpenters, and bakers. The logistic regression analysis indicated limited predictive power for age, diabetes mellitus (DM), years in the job, and years in the current job. However, the absence of formal training emerged as a significant factor associated with an increased likelihood of potential hearing loss. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of considering demographic characteristics and occupational factors in assessing the prevalence of hearing loss among workers. The results emphasize the need for occupational training programs and increased awareness of hearing protection measures in the workplace to mitigate the risk of hearing loss.
