Noise matters: assessing non-auditory health impacts of occupational noise exposure among factory workers
Our findings demonstrate the need for factories to adopt effective noise control measures such as engineering modifications, administrative controls, and mandatory hearing protection. These steps can reduce workers' noise exposure, minimizing physiological stress and cognitive impairments, and thus improve overall occupational health and productivity.
