Summary
Audiometric assessment was carried out on 26 metal workers at
the spare parts market, Gate Ibadan to corroborate their perceived susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss. Of the 26
studied, 13 (50.0%) indicated non-susceptibility. II (42.3%)
indicated susceptibility while 2 (7. '7%) did not know. Otology
symptoms mentioned by those who indicate susceptibility were
tinnitus (63.6%), hearing loss (36.4%), otalgia (18.2%), headache (9.1 %), and post-aural pain (9.1 %). Audiometric results
showed 10 (76.9%) of non-susceptible subjects, 5 (45:5%) of

was observed in 4 (36.4%) of the susceptible subjects. Implications of the findings for taking preventive action are discussed
