Abstract

Abstract

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of hearing loss among noise-exposed workers in Chinese industrial enterprises, and to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control strategies. Methods The occupational health files of workers exposed to noise in the three major industries of mining, manufacturing, production and supply of electricity, heat, gas and water in 2020 were obtained from the "Occupational Disease and Health Hazardous Factors Surveillance System". Hearing impairment and binaural high-frequency average hearing threshold loss were analyzed by industry, region, gender, age, working age, enterprise scale. Results A total of 3 034 500 cases were collected, and 815 800 persons with hearing impairment and 265 500 persons with high-frequency hearing loss were detected, with a detection rate of 26.88% and 8.75%, respectively. The detection rate of hearing impairment and high-frequency hearing loss in the mining industry was 29.96% and 10.11%, which were higher than those in other industries. The regions with a higher detection rate of hearing impairment were Southwest, Central South and East China, accounting for 30.21%, 29.99% and 29.90%, respectively. The regions with higher high-frequency hearing loss detection rates were Central South and Southwest, accounting for 11.12% and 9.78% respectively. The detection rates of hearing impairment and high-frequency hearing loss in males were higher than those in women, accounting for 28.60% and 9.98% respectively. The detection rates of hearing impairment and high-frequency hearing loss both showed an increasing trend with age and working age. The detection rates of hearing impairment and high-frequency hearing loss of small and micro enterprise were 37.56% and 12.36%, which were higher than those of large and medium-sized enterprises. Conclusions The detection rate of hearing impairment and high-frequency hearing loss among noise-exposed workers in Chinese industrial enterprises is relatively high. It is necessary to strengthen the control of workplace noise and individual protection of noise-exposed workers to protect workers' health.
