engine is a machine that has very high level of noise.
Long-term exposure of noise and working period can be the risk of hearing loss

27 machinists. Data were collected through questionnaires, measurements of intensity
of noise on locomotive and hearing examination (audiometric). Data were
analyzed using univariate, bivariate Spearman rank test, and multivariate
