Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a global health problem, often underestimated, and leads to permanent hearing loss. The prevalence of NIHL in adolescents has increased in line with the increasing use of cell phones. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of NIHL and analyze the population at risk (age, gender, and school) in adolescent students. The study design was a cross-sectional study. A total of 510 students consisting of female, n=288 and male, n=222; junior high school, n=203 and senior high school, n=307 were used as research subjects. This study was conducted on August-October 2015 at Darul Ihsan School, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. An audiometry examination was performed to determine the diagnosis of NIHL. Data analysis was using descriptive analysis and independent sample t-test(p<0.05). The results of this study were the prevalence of NIHL in adolescents aged 11-20 years was 18.88%. The highest percentage of NIHL was at the age of 15 years (34.57%). The number of NIHL was significantly higher (p=0.000*) in males (24.32%) compared to females (9.37%). The prevalence of NIHL was significantly higher (p=0.00*) in senior high school children (26.11%) compared to that in junior high school children (9.12%). In conclusion, the highest prevalence of NIHL was at the age of 15 years. NIHL was more common in male than in female students. NIHL was higher in high school students compared to junior high school students. The NIHL was related to age, gender, and school level.

“…The auditory sensory cells (hair cells) in the organ of corti in the cochlea once degenerates do not have the ability to regenerate hence NIHL is an irreversible damage. 10 Apart from this a sudden and extreme exposure can directly damage the cochlear hair cells. This is called as 'acoustic trauma'.…”

Labelled as ‘silent killer’ of 21st century, the noise pollution is largely neglected despite its short and long-term ramifications on human health. The noise affects the human beings from intrauterine life to old age in different ways. The ill effects of noise pollution are slow but cumulative in nature with long term health hazards in form of noise induced hearing loss, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular disease and stress etc. The increasing industrialization and modernization have rewarded us with noise as a pollutant so the accusing finger is clearly pointing towards the human activities. The various permissible noise limits in residential, commercial and industrial area should be strictly followed in consonance with the governing law. The violation of these limits should have strict legal consequences.

“…13, 2011, the noise threshold value is 85 dB, the duration of activity allowed is 8 hours/day or about 40 hours/week. [1][2][3] Currently, WHO is designing a program called Sound Hearing 2030. The program aims to prevent and minimize hearing loss and improve the quality of life for people with hearing loss by developing a comprehensive, inclusive, and sustainable ear care and hearing function program both at the regional and national levels by providing facilities, technical support, guidance, information, monitoring, and evaluation.…”

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is sensorineural deafness resulting from prolonged exposure to loud noise. In the military environment, personnel with NIHL are often found. One of the professions that are at risk for NIHL is an aviator. Some of the factors that influence the degree of deafness are age and length of work. This research is a descriptive quantitative observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research subjects were Squadron 11/Attack helicopter pilots at Achmad Yani Air Base, Semarang, totaling 32 pilots, which were taken from medical record data. Sampling was done by total sampling. The data obtained were processed using SPSS and grouped into tables accompanied by descriptive explanations of each characteristic. The audiogram results showed that 32 pilots were normal, across all age and length of service categories. This result is due to the appropriate use of hearing protection device (HPD), in the form of a helmet that reduces noise up to 14 dB at 250 Hz, 21 dB at 1000 Hz, 26 dB at 2000 Hz, 37 dB at 4000 Hz, and 42 dB at a frequency of 8000 Hz, which pilots use. The pilot's working time is relatively short with a flight training schedule only 2 times a week and a flight time of around 2-3 hours. The conclusions of the study showed a description of normal hearing function in all Squadron 11/Attack helicopter pilots, based on age and length of service.
