“…In a prior study conducted by Fitri Sakinah 14 regarding the frequency of earphone use, the result was that 78.9% of respondents used earphones 1-4 days/week and 21.1% used ear phones >5 days/week. On the other hand, a research conducted by Silvestre et al 15 in 2013 showed that 74.43% of respondents used earphones >5 days/ week. This discrepancy could be caused by using the earphones not for a long period or continuously at a relatively low volume or intensity.…”

Background: Earphone nowadays is extensively used along with audiovisual technology development. The increased use of earphone can lead to tinnitus. Around 10- 20% of the adult population had experienced tinnitus during their life, and 0.5-2.5% affected their quality of life. Tinnitus in medical students could interfere in the teaching process which could can lead to decreased quality of medical students. Objective: To observe the correlation between the pattern of using earphone with the incidence of tinnitus, and to determine the severity of tinnitus among students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara, class 2017-2019 who used earphones. Method: This was an analytic study with cross-sectional design, using consecutive sampling technique. Result: Bivariate analysis between earphone use patterns and the incidence of tinnitus among the subjects obtained statistically significant results (p=0.017). Univariate analysis on 148 respondents showed a pattern of risky earphone use (64.2%) and 52 people with tinnitus (35.1%), and tinnitus severity with 52 participants based on Visual Analogue Scale was mild (55.8%) and based on Tinnitus Handicap Inventory Questionnaire was light (53.9%). In the pattern of earphone use, the results of the analysis of the frequency of using earphones for 3-4 days were (40.5%), the volume of earphone use was 60-80% (54.1%), the length of time using earphones >3 years was (65.5%), and the duration of using earphones <1 hour (38.5%). Conclusion: There was a correlation between the pattern of earphone use and the incidence of tinnitus among students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara, class 2017-2019.Keywords: earphone, tinnitus, Visual Analog Scale, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory QuestionnaireABSTRAKLatar belakang: Earphone saat ini sangat banyak digunakan seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi audiovisual. Prevalensi pengguna earphone pada remaja sekitar 83,6% dari 436 remaja. Penggunaan earphone yang berlebihan dapat menyebabkan tinitus. Statistik prevalensi dunia menunjukkan 30-40% populasi dewasa pernah mengalami tinnitus dalam hidupnya dan 0,5-2,5% kualitas hidupnya sangat terganggu oleh tinitus. Tinitus merupakan salah satu tanda penurunan fungsi pendengaran dan mampu menyebabkan penurunan performa kognitif. Tinitus pada mahasiswa kedokteran dapat mengganggu proses belajar mengajar sehingga dapat menurunkan kualitas mahasiswa kedokteran. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat hubungan pola penggunaan earphone dengan angka kejadian tinnitus serta tingkat keparahan tinitus pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara. Metode: Penelitian analitik dengan desain potong lintang dengan teknik pengambilan secara consecutive sampling. Pengukuran dilakukan dengan Visual Analog Scale (VAS) dan Tinitus Handicap Inventory Questionnaire (THI-Q). Hasil: Analisis bivariat antara pola penggunaan earphone dengan angka kejadian tinnitus pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara diperoleh hasil (p=0,017). Analisis univariat pada 148 responden menunjukkan pola penggunaan earphone berisiko sebanyak (64,2%) dan yang mengidap tinitus sebanyak 52 orang (35,1%), dan tingkat keparahan tinitus dengan jumlah responden 52 orang berdasarkan VAS adalah ringan (55,8%) dan berdasarkan THI-Q adalah ringan (53,9%). Pada pola penggunaan earphone diperoleh hasil analisis frekuensi penggunaan earphone 3-4 hari sebanyak (40,5%), volume penggunaan earphone 60-80% sebanyak (54,1%), lama penggunaan earphone >3 tahun sebanyak (65,5%), dan durasi penggunaan earphone <1 jam sebanyak (38,5%). Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara pola penggunaan earphone dengan angka kejadian tinitus pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara angkatan 2017-2019.Kata kunci: earphone, tinitus, Visual Analog Scale, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory Questionnaire

“…It is known that the loud sound associated with physical activity releases adrenaline, which generates pleasure, 24 and often there lies the justification for children, adolescents, and young adults to expose themselves to amplified music and other noises in their day-to-day activities. 25 As for education, studies say that the lower the education, the lower the capacity of reality perception. The students of the YAE are largely people who chronologically returned to study outside the conventional timeframe.…”

Introduction Nowadays noise remains the third largest cause of environmental pollution on Earth. It appears that despite the existing noise control legislation the issue deserves further supervision by the public authorities so that the ceilings established for the various activities are observed. People exposed to noise are more likely to develop numerous auditory and non-auditory problems directly impacting persona family and working life. Objectives The objective of this study is to research and consequently understand how the population of students of a youth and adult school in Curitiba perceives noise pollution as well as look into the actions that the school adopts in order to guide the students on the topic. Method We applied a structured questionnaire to 120 individuals and assessed the following variables: characterization of the place of residence occupation leisure health and perception of soundscapes. We also applied a closed questionnaire about educational actions for noise pollution to the school's geography teacher. Results Questionnaire responses show that people perceive noise in the most diverse environments they frequent and are able to identify the source of the noise but this perception proved fragile as the majority does not take measures to prevent or mitigate these noises. At school there are no actions aimed at environmental education on the subject studied. Conclusion The studied group does not perceive the noise as a harmful agent and does not prevent themselves from it and the school not work contents related to noise pollution leaving a significant gap in the awareness process of this population.
