Loud noise creates a range of health effects, of which the most obvious one is noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). According to Safe Work Australia (2013) in 2010-11, one quarter of workers' compensation claims for miners was for deafness. Another common auditory effect associated with loud noise exposure is tinnitus (ringing in the ears).

some of the factors that contribute to high levels of noise exposure to workers in the mining industry. Every day 80% of the nation's miners go to work in an environment where the time weighted average (TWA) exceeds 85 dBA. Moreover, 25% of the miners are exposed to a TWA noise level that exceeds 90 dBA, the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL).
