OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical practice differences based on GBZ 49-2007 and GBZ 49-2014 diagnostic criteria for occupational noise induced hearing loss.METHODS Two hundred and sixty-five noise workers who applied for occupational noise induced hearing loss diagnosis in Hangzhou Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment Center from January 2016 to November 2023 were selected and diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria of GBZ 49-2007 and GBZ 49-2014 for noise induced hearing loss.RESULTS The diagnostic rate of occupational noise induced hearing loss in GBZ 49-2014 standard was 53.58%,which was significantly higher than the 42.64%in GBZ 49-2007 standard(P<0.05).The κ value of the diagnostic consistency between the GBZ 49-2014 standard and the GBZ 49-2007 standard for occupational noise induced hearing loss was 0.761,P<0.05,indicating good diagnostic consistency with a diagnostic consistency rate was 86.04%.The diagnostic rate of occupational noise induced hearing loss(GBZ 49-2007)among workers with work experience≥10 years was 59.05%,which was higher than that of workers with work experience<10 years(P<0.05).The diagnostic rate of occupational noise induced deafness in workers with work experience≥10 years(GBZ 49-2014)was 72.38%,which is higher than that of workers with work experience<10 years(P<0.05).According to the diagnosis of occupational noise induced hearing loss in GBZ 49-2007 and GBZ 49-2014,patients with work experience≥10 years had a higher severity of occupational noise induced hearing loss than those with work experience<10 years(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Compared to the GBZ 49-2007 standard,the GBZ 49-2014 standard will increase the diagnostic cases of occupational noise induced hearing loss;Under the GBZ 49-2007 and GBZ 49-2014 standards,the diagnosis and severity of occupational noise induced hearing loss are related to length of service.
