Occupational noise is a common cause of hearing loss in low-income countries. We used Wulira app which is a valid and potentially cheaper mhealth alternative to pure tone audiometry to screen for occupational hearing loss among industrial workers in Kampala. We recruited 354 participants conveniently from a steel and iron manufacturing industry in Kampala. All eligible participants answered a pretested and validated questionnaire and were assessed for noise induced hearing loss in a quiet office room approximately 500 meters from the heavy machinery area using the Wulira app
