dc.description.abstract: In industry increased mechanisation results in increased noise levels. Operation of textile machines carries a high risk of hearing loss. In this study the evaluation of textile worker's noise induced hearing loss was reviewed cross sectionally. The hear-ing of 260 textile workers exposed to noise levels between 85-95 dB(A) in carpet and cotton textile factories was assessed by means of air and bone conductance audio-grams obtained. The subjects were grouped into five hearing categories according tohearing thresholds at 125 to 8000 Hz with Klockhoffs classification. The prevalence of the grade-3 hearing loss was 47.92% and grade 4-5 was 9.21% on exposed subjects in both factories. There was significant differ-ence between exposed and unexposed control subjects working in the same factories (p<0.001). Also age and working section fac-tors were evaluated.en_US
