Abstract

Abstract During 2011-2015, 101 cases of occupational noise - induced hearing loss ( ONIHL ) were diagnosed in Thailand. Among them, 37 cases were compensated by the Thai compensation fund. This is a case report to reflect the Thailand situation of ONIHL in occupational settings . Only a few companies in Thailand have adopted the annual audiometric test with baseline audiograms and retest s, refer their employees to occupational physician s to diagnose its feasibility of occupational disease. Proper baseline revision s were not performed , which resulted in over-investigation (retest s ) and unnecessary referral s . Screening protocols for Hearing Conservative Programs (HCPs) were not perform ed properly. O ccupational noise - induced hearing loss is extremely under diagnosed in Thailand.   Keywords : A udiometric test, Noise-induced h earing loss, Occupational Health, O ccupational noise , S ignificant threshold shift , Thailand
