摘要
In today's increasingly complex industrial design and size, noise is one of the serious hazards to hearing. Loss of hearing as a result of long term exposure to high level noise at industrial sector is become one most potential harmful for workers. In-line with this concern, engineering control design has been adapted at industrial level as prevention approach and as a part of occupational safety and health culture at workplace. While hearing impairment of workers due to high level of noise exposure require proper hearing rehabilitation strategy at clinical level. This paper discusses briefly some of the engineering control adapted at industrial scale as a prevention strategy of hearing impairment and audiological assessment and management for the workers in risk for hearing impairment at clinical level.
