The number of samples in this study is as many as 70 workers in nine rice milling units in Kabila & Tilongkabila districts, Bone Bolango Regency. The data analysis method used is the Chi-square test.
The results showed that there was a significant relationship between working time with (p-value = 0.006), while noise intensity was not significantly related to (p-value = 0.946) and length of exposure there was a significant relationship with (p-value = 0.000) with non-auditory effect complaints rice mill workers in Kabila & Tilongkabila district, Bone Bolango Regency.
