Abstract: Abstract Environmental noise may have a big impact on employee health and productivity. Also Long-term exposure to excessive levels of noise and vibration can be harmful to workers’ health. This paper aims to survey the uneasiness levels of humans working in a noisy area, where the noise is being created from different machines that incite hearing impairment, mental burdens, and sleeping issues. In general, the hearing issues of laborer’s create unnecessary tension. So the study is performed to explore the impact of noise on the health of the workers who were working in the noisy environment for 8–10 h a day in hot climate conditions. Additionally, the follow-up study may provide a clear idea of different noisy areas like an Automobile workshop, textile industry, and small industry workers to decide the impact of noise on their hearing conditions. Audiometric measurements were taken on 76 different individuals (factory workers) using an indicative audiometer. Everyone from the workers had their ears analyzed before Audiometric, which was done in a calm area in the medical room facility. The hearing issues of the laborer’s at the time of machining have been explored via a proposed model to anticipate through simulated annealing via MATLAB on the connection limits like “Vibration, Sound pressure, and Temperature”. The comparison of the hearing impact on the human ear found that the inside-room hearing impact was greater as compared to the outside-room hearing impact on the human. Hearing Conservation measures ought to be organized in a noisy environment.
