Gangguan pendengaran akibat bising sering dijumpai pada pekerja industri di seluruh dunia, terlebih lagi dinegara berkembang seperti Indonesia. Ambang batas maksimum aman dari bising bagi manusia adalah 80-84 dB. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Hubungan intensitas kebisingan dengan gangguan pendengaran.Jenis Penelitian ini kuantitatif, analitik dengan desain penelitian cross sectional. populasi sampel sebanyak 90 orang. Analisis data dilakuakan dengan uji statistik chi-square. Teknik pengambilan sampel secara total sampling.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Bengkel Las Kota Bukittinggi, yang dilaksanakan pada bulan Juni sampai dengan Juli.Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa diantara 90 responden diketahui yang mengalami gangguan pendengaran sebanyak 52 responden (57.8%). Dari hasil analisi didapatkan tidak adanya hubungan Intensitas Kebisingan dengan Gangguan Pendengaran (p value =0.097). ada hubungan Masa Kerja dengan Gangguan Pendengaran (P value =0.061). tidak ada hubungan antara jam kerja dengan gangguan pendengaran (P value = 1.000) dan tidak ada hubungan antara Penggunaan Alat Pelindung Diri dengan Gangguan Pendengaran (P value= 0.212). Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terdapat hubungan Masa Kerja dengan Gangguan Pendengaran dan disarankan kepada pekerja bengkel las di kota bukittinggi agar lebih mengutamakan kesehatan dan agar tidak menimbulkan gangguan kesehatan terutama pada bagian pendengaran.

Hearing loss resulting from noise exposure is a prevalent issue among industrial workers globally, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. The established maximum safe threshold for human exposure is 80-84 dB. This study aims to investigate the correlation between noise intensity and hearing loss.This research employs a quantitative and analytic approach with a cross-sectional research design. The study population comprises 90 individuals, and data analysis entails the use of the chi-square statistical test. The sampling technique utilized is total sampling. The research took place at a Welding Workshop in the City of Bukittinggi, conducted between June and July.The findings revealed that among the 90 respondents, 52 individuals (57.8%) exhibited hearing loss. Upon analyzing the results, it was determined that there exists no significant correlation between noise intensity and hearing loss (p-value = 0.097). However, a relationship was identified between the duration of employment and hearing loss (p- value = 0.061). No substantial correlations were found between working hours and hearing loss (p-value = 1.000), and between the use of personal protective equipment and hearing loss (p-value = 0.212).In conclusion, this study discerned a connection between the duration of employment and hearing loss. It is recommended that workers at the welding workshop in Bukittinggi prioritize their health to prevent health issues, particularly concerning hearing-related problems.
