NCT ID NCT07515833
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 35 industrial workers who have hearing problems from loud noise at work. Researchers will test their balance and ask about daily activities to see if hearing loss affects how steady they feel. The goal is to understand if hearing issues are linked to balance troubles in real life.
