ABSTRACT
One of the major stresses with which industrial workers must cope is excessive noise exposure. Operation of textile machines is one of the occupations that carry a particularly high risk of hearing. Noise induced hearing loss is an irreversible and incurable disease. Prevention is of primary importance. Since the disease develops slowly over the years and since the first signs readily detected by simple audiometric examinations, it can be said that the basic principle for medical prevention is the periodic audiometric examinations. Clearly, this basic medical practice should be followed up by a series of environmental and organizational preventive measures required to remove the affected worker from the hazardous working environment.
Noise at work can cause hearing loss which can be temporary or permanent. People often experience temporary deafness after leaving a noisy place. Although hearing recovers within a few hours, this should not be ignored. It is a sign that if you continue to be exposed to the noise your hearing could be permanently damaged. Permanent hearing damage can be caused immediately by sudden, extremely loud, explosive noises, e.g. from guns or cartridge operated machines.
