[ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran hubungan antara intensitas bising dengan gangguan pendengaran terhadap pekerja.Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 349 responden di bagian Steel Melting dan Rolling Mills PT X pada bulan Maret ? Juni 2014 menggunakan desain cross-sectional, data primer berupa hasil pengukuranintensitas bising dan audiogram, data sekunder berupa gambaran umum perusahaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 52 responden (14,9%) mengalami gangguanpendengaran, responden yang mengalami gangguan pendengaran terbanyak yaitu sebesar 59,6% (31 responden) adalah responden yang bekerja di Area Steel Meltingyang memiliki intensitas kebisingan >85 dB. Penelitian menunjukkan gangguan pendengaran tidak berhubungan dengan pajanan debu, riwayat penyakit Diabetesmelitus dan riwayat penyakit Hipertensi (p-value>α(0,05). Untuk mencegah terjadinya gangguan pendengaran kepada pekerja lainnya, perlu dilakukan upaya pengendalian risiko dengan melakukan pengendalian teknis, pengendalian administratif dan perlindungan kepada pekerja yang bekerja di area tersebut.

ABSTRACT

This study aims to provide an overview of the relationship between the intensity of noise with a hearing loss of workers. Study was conducted on 349 respondents at the Steel Melting and Rolling Mills PT X in March - June 2014 using cross-sectional design, the primary data in the form of noise intensity measurement results and results of audiometric measurement, secondary data from a general overview of the

company. The results showed that 52 respondents (14.9%) had hearing loss, respondents who have a hearing loss that is equal to 59.6% (31 respondents) of respondents who work in Steel Melting areas that have noise intensity > 85 dB. Research showed hearing loss is not related to dust exposure, history of diabetes

mellitus and a history of hypertension (p-value> α (0.05). To prevent hearing loss to other workers, risk control efforts should be made to perform technical control, control administrative and protection to employees who work in the area.;This study aims to provide an overview of the relationship between the intensity of noise with a hearing loss of workers.
