Industrial noise exposure significantly impacts worker hearing, with specific sound frequencies like 4KHz and 8KHz being key factors in hearing loss. The C5 algorithm accurately models these effects, aiding in prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Audiology
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Industrialization increases noise exposure risks in workplaces.
  • Harmful effects of sound include temporary and permanent hearing loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To utilize the C5 algorithm for identifying and weighting factors contributing to worker hearing loss.
  • To analyze audiometric data to understand noise-induced hearing loss patterns.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 150 mining industry workers in Iran.
  • Audiometry was performed on three groups exposed to different sound pressure levels.
  • The C5 algorithm and SPSS were used to determine the weight of factors affecting hearing loss.

Main Results:

  • In high noise levels (>85 dBA), 4KHz frequency was the most significant factor (31%) affecting hearing loss.
  • In lower noise levels (<70 dBA), 8KHz frequency was most impactful (31%).
  • Model accuracy ranged from 94% to 100%, indicating high predictive power.

Conclusions:

  • The C5 algorithm effectively models hearing loss, highlighting the significant impact of specific frequencies (4KHz, 8KHz).
  • This data-driven approach provides a powerful tool for predicting and managing noise-induced hearing loss in industrial settings.
