D) Deafness
Explanation

Prolonged and continuous high intensity noise not only causes partial hearing loss but may cause a permanent loss of hearing. A sudden loud noise such as an explosion can damage the tympanic membrane. Noise also causes sleeplessness, increased heart beating, altered breathing pattern, thus considerably stressing humans. Silicosis and asbestosis are the common occupational lung disease. These diseases are caused due to chronic exposure of silica and asbestos death
