Abstract: Abstract - Introduction: Excessive noise is an important health hazard that can lead to auditory and extra-auditory effects which affect the welfare of individuals and groups exposed. Objective: This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of occupational noise induced hearing loss in industrial workers. Methodology: The study was conducted in 332 industrial workers and ENT and audiometric examinations were done to assess and correlate their age, years of service, noise level, duration of exposure, and degree of hearing loss. Result: 29.52% of industrial workers were affected, mostly of mild frequency sensorineural hearing loss due to occupational exposure to long durations of loud noises. Conclusion: Chronic exposure to noise is a common hazard in industrial workers and causes high frequency SNHL with 4 kHz notch. We observed that that out of the 332 industrial workers under study, 98 of them were affected with high frequency sensorineural hearing loss. The prevalence of occupational noise induced hearing loss was most observed in those between the age group of 36-40 years due to their long duration of exposure to loud noises over a maximum number of years. The observed total percentage of those affected with occupational noise induced hearing loss was found to be 29.52%.
