Abstract
Obtaining reliable and objective data on certain working conditions is necessary to analyse the causes and variables that can influence the development of hearing loss amongst the working population. Objective occupational data have been collected from a heterogeneous sample of 1418 workers in Spain, see “How activity type, time on the job and noise level on the job affect the hearing of the working population. Using Bayesian networks to predict the development of hipoacusia” (Barrero et al., 2018) [1]. Among the main factors analysed are the noise levels to which these workers are exposed, measured at their respective workstations, and the assessment of their hearing status, evaluated by audiometric medical tests. These factors provide information to predict the development of hypoacusia.

How activity type, time on the job and noise level on the job affect the hearing of the working population
The dataset can be used to show different aspects of occupational exposure to noise, such as daily noise exposure, number of years in the workplace, noise exposure in previous employment, noise protection system based on hearing protection or time limitation
Summary
● Job title: Security guard Table 23 shows the noise level distribution for the security guard position
