AbstrakPabrik tekstil di Indonesia merupakan sumber devisa yang penting untuk negara karena jumlahnya yang cukup banyak. Para pekerja pabrik mempunyai risiko tinggi untuk terjadinya gangguan dengar. Bunyi dengan intensitas yang cukup kuat (>85 dB) dalam waktu yang cukup lama dapat menyebabkan hilangnya pendengaran, baik sementara maupun tetap. Bila hal ini tidak mendapatkan perhatian yang serius maka dapat mengakibatkan dampak yang tidak diinginkan. Hal ini tidak sesuai dengan tujuan pembangunan kesehatan bangsa Indonesia, Garis-garis Besar Haluan Negara 1998 dalam Pelita IV yang mengarahkan untuk meningkatkan derajat kesehatan masyarakat dan kualitas sumber daya manusia serta usia harapan hidup. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui prevalensi gangguan dengar yang terjadi serta jenis dan derajat ketulian pada pekerja di salah satu pabrik tekstil di Majalaya kabupaten Bandung Jawa Barat. Subjek berjumlah 109 orang pekerja terdiri atas 47 orang laki-laki dan 62 orang perempuan yang dipilih secara total sampling, mulai tanggal 26 Agustus sampai 9 September 2004 dengan penelitian bersifat deskriptif potong lintang. Dilakukan anamnesis dengan pengisian kuesioner, pemeriksaan fisis telinga, dan pemeriksaan audiometri nada murni. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan prevalensi gangguan dengar pada laki-laki 68,1% lebih banyak bila dibandingkan dengan perempuan 37,2%. Jenis gangguan dengar terbanyak akibat bising 41% kemudian gangguan dengar tipe sensori-neural 32%, tipe konduktif 23%, dan tipe campuran 4%. Prevalensi derajat gangguan dengar ringan 46,8%; sedang 3,7%; dan berat 0,9%. Simpulan, gangguan dengar yang sering ditemukan pada pekerja pabrik yaitu gangguan dengar yang diakibatkan oleh bising.

It is not in accordance with the objective of the development of Health of Indonesia, Outlines of State Policy 1998 to improve community health status and quality of human resources and life expectancy. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, degree and type of hearing loss in one of textile factory workers in Majalaya Bandung West-Java.

“…In a survey in 1981, hearing impairment was observed as a major problem in Nepalese society constituting about one third of all disabilities. More than 50% of such people were under the age of 25 years and about one third was pre‐lingual children who were unable to acquire their speech and language (Sharma et al . 2004).…”

Introduction: Hearing impairment is the most common congenital abnormality that occurs in 1 to 4/1000 newborns. It has a profound effect on their optimal development of language, speech and cognitive skill. Early detection in order to achieve effective treatment is essential. An association between low birth weight and hearing loss is commonly associated with multiple risk factors that can alter hearing in a synergistic fashion. Universal neonatal hearing screening programs have become widely implemented aiming for the screening, confirmation of the diagnosis and intervention by 1, 3 and 6 months respectively. Transient Evoked Otoacoustic emissions is one of the test found to be a quick, objective, non-invasive, accurate and easy test for early detection of this problem. Aims: Early detection of hearing loss in neonates focusing on low birth weight for early optimum rehabilitation. Methods: A comparative case control study conducted in 100 neonates under 2 groups. 50 neonates with low birth weight and 50 with normal birth weight who were born at NGMCTH, Kohalpur. Their hearing evaluation was done with Transient Evoked Oto Acoustic Emission (TEOAE). Results: The total referral rate was 12 % and pass rate was 88 %. The referral rate in LBW group was 20 % and 4 % in normal weight neonates. The pass rate in low birth weight was 80 % and 96 % in normal weight babies. Conclusion: Hearing impairment is a severe consequence in neonates with low birth weight. To decrease the economic and social burden of effects of hearing loss, it is assumed that newborn screening can immeasurably improve the future of newborn with early rehabilitation.
