Association between combined occupational exposure to coal dust and noise and high-frequency hearing loss among workers: a cross-sectional study

Background Occupational environments contain a wide variety of harmful factors, with noise often coexisting with other physical, chemical factors, leading to combined exposure that may increase the risk of hearing impairment among workers. This study aims to investigate the association of occupational noise and coal du...
