| dc.description.abstract | In the rice milling industry there was noise generated by machines. Noise machine is high enough, so can direct
influence on labour and other people who were in workplace. Its form of communication disorders, impaired
concentration, impaired hearing comfort. Hearing due to exposure to loud noise or Noise Induced Hearing Loss
(NHL) was one of diseases due to labour most often found in the industry. Hearing loss of auditory function
impairment due to exposure to excessive noise with intensity continuously for a long time. Based on early survey
conducted earlier in the rice mill workers did not use safety equipment ear (Ear Protector) and the protective
nose (mask) so susceptible to noise. The objective was aim to descriptive a relation between noise with hearing
loss function in rice mill workers in Colomadu Karanganyar. This research was using descriptive correlative
with cross sectional design. Taking samples were all workers in rice mills in Colomadu are, with total 42
respondents from 11 places rice mill, taken sampling used total sampling. Variable engine noise was measured
from the rice milling machine. If the milling machine had ≤ 85 dB, meaning the negative, which means the
machine is not noisy, but if the milling machine had > 85 dB, negative means positive, its means the engine
noise. Variable hearing function was measured by audiometry, with if were value had 0-25 dB its normal ears,
26-40 dB its means deaf light, 41-60dB its means deaf medium, acute deaf 61-90db if were measured had>
90dB. Statistical analysis was using non parametric chi square test. Results showed: Intensity noise machine
has a majority of more than 85 dB from 8 industries (72.3%). The majority of respondents experiencing
auditory dysfunction with 17 respondents (40.5%). There was a relation between noise with hearing loss
function of workers in Colomadu milling rice of Karanganyar with p = 0.032. | en_US |
