Introduction: Suspected occupational noise-induced deafness (ONID) represents the most prevalent suspected occupational disease in Guangdong Province and is among the most frequently reported nationwide. Given its public health significance, we conducted a systematic investigation of suspected ONID cases in Guangdong from 2014 to 2023, analyzing their epidemiological characteristics and diagnostic outcomes to inform evidence-based policies for ONID prevention and management.
Methods: Data on suspected ONID cases reported in Guangdong Province from 2014 to 2023 were extracted from the "Occupational Diseases and Health Hazard Factors Monitoring Information System.

Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), one of the leading causes of hearing loss in young adults, is a major health care problem that has negative social and economic consequences. It is commonly recognized that individual susceptibility largely varies among individuals who are exposed to similar noise. An objective method is, therefore, needed to identify those who are extremely sensitive to noise-exposed jobs to prevent them from developing severe NIHL.

Article Synopsis
- - Occupational noise-induced deafness (ONID) has become a major health issue in China, ranking as the second most common occupational disease since 2015, with insufficient research on its epidemiological aspects.
- - A study conducted in Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2022 found a significant increase in ONID cases, with a yearly average rise of 21.9%, and identified specific high-risk areas concentrated mainly in the Pearl River Delta.
- - Results highlight the need for targeted policies and health resources, particularly as ONID is primarily linked to manufacturing industries and domestically funded enterprises in the region.
