Abstract

This research examines the self-perception of workers who are exposed to noise levels considered harmful to human hearing health. We offer a descriptive analysis and the data set of a large sample (N=955) of workers from all sectors of activity in Spain. The variables analyzed in this study are: the noise level of the workplace, the use of hearing protection or limitation of exposure time during the working day and the worker's own perception of the quality of their hearing.
