Background Workplace fatigue is a significant factor that can impact worker safety and productivity, particularly in industrial environments with high levels of noise exposure. Various types of hearing protection, such as earmuffs and earplugs, are commonly used to prevent noise-induced hearing loss, but their short-term effects on workers’ fatigue responses remain underexplored, particularly in workers who are just adapting to using earmuffs for the first time. This study aimed to investigate t
