| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Noise exposure burden and hearing protection compliance among Saudi military personnel: A cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess noise exposure experiences, their effects on hearing sensitivity and the use of hearing protection among Saudi military personnel. Copies were distributed to military personnel visiting the audiology clinic at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh from 2024 to 2025 and shared via social media nationwide. RESULTS: A total of 256 participants completed the questionnaire; the majority were male (97.3%), lived in Riyadh (85.2%), and were aged 31 years-40 years with a high school education. Training to enhance awareness of NIHL risks, along with periodic hearing assessments for early detection, is recommended.Contribution: This study highlights a gap between awareness of noise-induced hearing loss and the use of hearing protection among Saudi military personnel.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
