Where total number of 800 (Eight hundred)subjects were included. During the study, all subjects wereselected purposively on the basis of noise exposure studyprocedure. After selection and proper counseling, the aim,objective and procedure of the study was explained in detailsto all subjects, in the cement industry.Results: During the study highest frequency of hearing losswas found in 30-40 years age group. Most of the patientsworked in production area for 5-10 years. most of the patientsexposed to 70-80dB, 41.4%.51.6% patients exposed >8 hoursdaily and 65.5% patients exposed 42-48 hours weekly.Conclusion: From our study we can conclude that the studyclearly demonstrated that noise is a serious health hazard inthe cement industry. Hearing threshold for the subjectsexposed to noise increase with the progress of age andduration of employment. Further study is needed for betteroutcome.Hearing LevelNoise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL).The Hearing Level among the Workers of Cement IndustryJournal ArticleIndiaLecturer, Department of Physiology, Chattagram Medical College, Chattagram, Bangladesh.Professor and Head, Department of Physiology, Chattagram Medical College, Chattagram, Bangladesh.Assistant Professor, Department of Physiology, Chattagram Medical College, Chattagram, BangladeshAssistant Professor, Department of Hepatology, Chattogram Medical College, Chattagram, Bangladesh.
