When considered in terms of the risks involved, the mining is a sector that is highly likely to have occupational diseases when compared to other sectors. In order to prevent occupational diseases completely, it is necessary to determine occurrence conditions of occupational diseases and take preventive measures. In this study, the relationship between noise levels and noise induced hearing losses in a metal mine operated with underground production method was investigated by logistic regression analysis. Parameters affecting noise induced hearing loss were determined as the noise levels that the employees are exposed to, the noise levels in the environment, occupational groups, age and experience. As a result of the study, the most effective parameters for noise induced hearing loss were determined.
