Noise is defined as unwanted or disturbing sound, such as noise that interferes with rnactivities or concentration. In the workplace, noise is considered a physical hazard, rncommonly originating from the use of equipment such as machinery or production rnprocesses. Exposure to such noise can trigger various issues, including physical and rnmental disturbances, communication difficulties, and hearing loss. The effects of noise rncan be categorized into two types: auditory disturbances, such as hearing impairment, rnand Non-Auditory disturbances, such as communication disruption, increased risk of rnworkplace accidents, decreased productivity, stress, and fatigue. The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between noise level and rnindividual characteristics with non-auditory disorders among workers in the rnproduction department of PT. Kati Kartika Murni, North Cikarang, Bekasi Regency, rnin 2025. This study employs an analytical descriptive method with a cross-sectionalrnapproach, where the dependent and independent variables are studied simultaneously. rnPrimary data collection was conducted by measuring noise levels and administering rnquestionnaire interviews to workers regarding age, years of service, and the use of rnHearing Protection Devices, with a total sample of 80 respondents.rnThe findings of this study indicate a significant relationship between age (p-value = rn0.028) and length of employment (p-value = 0.036) with non-auditory disorders. A rnsignificant association was also found between the use of hearing protection devices rn(p-value = 0.032) and non-auditory disorders, as well as a significant difference in rnaverage noise levels between workers who experienced non-auditory disorders and rnthose who did not (p-value = 0.001). Based on these results, it is recommended that rnworkers consistently and properly use hearing protection devices (HPDs) to reduce rnthe risk of non-auditory disorders caused by workplace noise exposure. Employers are rnencouraged to enhance supervision regarding HPD usage and to provide regular rneducation about the dangers of noise and the importance of personal protection. rnAdditionally, regular evaluations of noise sources in the work environment and routine rnhealth check-ups for workers should be conducted. For future researchers, it is rnrecommended to include additional variables such as stress levels or daily noise rnexposure duration and to consider a longitudinal study design to obtain more in-depth rnand comprehensive results.
