ABSTRACT Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) still remains a problem in developed countries Noise induced hearing loss is one of most common hearing deficit which is almost completely preventable. The hearing loss incurred would depend on the sound qualities, duration of exposure and individual susceptibility and protection. This study aimed to determine risk factors of noised induced hearing loss in workers at bevelling unit in industry x, Bekasi, West Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional. A sample of 27 respondents was selected using simple random sampling. The dependent variable was hearing loss. The independent variables were factors related to the onset of hearing loss. The data were collected by questionnaire and tuner check. This data were analysed by chi square. Results: Noise intensity (OR= 67.50; 95% CI 5.33 to 854.76; p< 0.001), length of service (OR= 12.25; 95% CI 1.79 to 83.95; p= 0.011), and noisy living environment (OR= 5.87; 95% CI 1.09 to 32.00; p= 0.034) has a relationship with hearing loss. Conclusion: Companies can carry out K3 enhancement and monitoring, carry out periodic scanning or audiometric checks, and create hearing conservation programs and timing or working duration in areas exposed to noise.

Introduction: Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is an occupational health hazard linked with noise exposure of more than 85 dB. Aircraft noise and other occupational noise exposure cause military aviators more susceptible to NIHL than commercial jet pilots. Aim: To find out the prevalence of noise induced hearing loss among different military aircrew population with special emphasis on identifying the associated risk factors. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on Kuwait Air force pilots those who came for annual medical checkup from July 2010 to July 2012. Audiometry of all subjects was done by ENT specialist and necessary data were collected by structured questionnaires. All data were analyzed by SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 17.0 Results: Out of 221 aircrew 32 (14.48%) developed NIHL. Hearing loss was mild to moderate and predominately at high frequencies. Most affected group was helicopter pilots. Pilots of more than 40 years of age and those who had more than 1000 flying hours had mean hearing threshold more than other groups. The right ear was affected in majority of cases than left ear. Conclusion: Noise exposure to aircrew is inevitable so hearing loss prevention strategies might play a pivotal role to save aircrew hearing. Active surveillance of hearing protection practices might have beneficiary effect. Steps can be taken for early detection of NIHL and hearing conservation program.

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with an increasing number of events every year. There are two risk factors for hypertension, namely risk factors that cannot be modified, such as age, sex and genetics, and modifiable risk factors such as obesity, smoking, lack of physical activity, excessive salt consumption, dyslipidemia, alcohol consumption and psychososis and stress. This study aims to obtain an overview of the factors associated with hypertension in adulthood. The research design used was descriptive analytic research with cross-sectional studies. The number of samples is 70 people with simple random sampling technique. Data analysis used univariate, bivariate (chi square) and multivariate (multiple logistic regression) component analyzes. Multivariate analysis showed that the variable that was significantly related to the occurrence of hypertension was the age variable (pvalue = 0.009). Variable overweight and physical activity as confounding variables. The analysis results obtained OR from the age variable is 2.9, meaning that patients in middle to upper adult age will experience hypertension 2.9 times higher than young adult patients after being controlled by obesity and physical activity variables. Recommendations from the results of this study are expected to be able to provide health care institutions that emphasize the promotive and preventive aspects of patients who have a history of hypertension.
