Abstract

Personal Listening Devices (PLDs) are the result of modern technological developments that are currently widely used by the public, especially when calling, playing games, listening to music or watching videos. The current COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the use of PLDs, which in turn can be a risk factor for the occurrence of NIHL in its users. This study aims to determine the relationship between the time of using PLDs with symptoms of auditory and non-auditory disturbances in students of the Faculty of Medicine Unjani Class 2019. This study was an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this study were students of the Faculty of Medicine Unjani Class 2019 who used PLDs that met the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. The minimum number of respondents in this study was 40 people. Data was collected using simple random sampling. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire. The characteristics of respondents who used PLDs were dominant in women than men (72.50%) with the average age of 20 years. The results showed that most of the respondents used PLDs for more than 3 hours (47.50%) per day. Based on the results of the Chi Square Test analysis, it shows that there is a significant relationship between the time of using PLDs with symptoms of auditory disturbances (p = 0.007) and symptoms of non-auditory disorders (p = 0.018) in students of the Faculty of Medicine Unjani class 2019. The conclusion of this study is the time of using PLDs has a significant relationship with symptoms of auditory and non-auditory disturbances in students of the Faculty of Medicine Unjani Class 2019.
