Summary

This study will investigate the balance performance and balance-related activities of daily living in 35 industrial workers with hearing problems exposed to occupational noise, using the Berg Balance Scale and the Vestibular Disorders Activities of Daily Living Scale. The research aims to determine whether there is a statistically significant association between hearing problems, balance performance, and daily noise exposure duration. It is hypothesized that while hearing problems related to occupational noise exposure may exist, they may not be directly associated with clinically significant balance impairment, potentially remaining at a tolerable level in daily life. Furthermore, the correlation between Berg Balance Scale and daily living activity scores will be evaluated to understand the functional impact of balance on these workers.
