N
oise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a sensorineural hearing loss caused by noise exposure with intensity over 85 dB
and o en happens at workers. Train drivers and train driver assistants are one type of work exposed high intensity of
noise from locomotive. is study aims to know the relationship between working periods and Noise Induced Hearing Loss
on train drivers and train drivers assistants in PT. Kereta Api Indonesia, Bandung, Indonesia. is study is an observational
quantitative research with cross-sectional design using consecutive sampling. Subjects are train drivers and their assistants
of PT. Kereta Api Indonesia. On subject of study conducted anamnesis, otoscopic examination and pure tone audiometry.
Results are analyzed by chi-square test. From 44 people of subjects, there are 2 people NIHL who have worked less than 10
years, 4 people NIHL with working period 10-19 years and 5 people NIHL with working period more than 20 years. Result
was analyzed by chi-square and result of p-value is 0.007 (p<0.05). From this study, we conclude that there is relation between
working period enhancements with noise induced hearing loss on train drivers and train drivers’ assistants in PT. Kereta Api
