[Prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss in metallurgical company].
OBJECTIVE To analyze the prevalence of cases suggestive of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) among metalworkers who were potentially exposed to occupational noise (from 83 to 102 dB). METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out in a metalworking company providing services in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Clinical and occupational data on 182 workers who were active between November 2001 and Mar...
متن کاملNoise pollution and hearing loss in one of the oil industries
Introduction: Nowadays, noise exposure is one of the most important industrial health problems. Noise exposure can cause hearing loss and many other health problems. So, paying attention to the noise exposure problem should be of main priority in industrial health programs. This study was conducted in an oil producing region, aimed to assess noise pollution and noise induced hearing loss. Met...
متن کاملTraining on hearing protector insertion improves noise attenuation.
PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of hearing protector insertion by comparing attenuation values measured by objective (MIRE) and subjective (REAT) methods in groups with and without training. METHODS The study included 80 male subjects assigned to experimental (with training) and control (without training) groups. The following procedures were performed: occupational history, objective and s...
متن کاملRating of Hearing Protector Performance for Impulse Noise
Concern has often been expressed that the performance of hearing protectors in steady noise may not apply to their performance in impulse noise. Our current.studies, as well as other studies, support the fact that there is a large difference in performance. In all cases, the performance of a protector is much better for impulse noise than for continuous noise. For example, we are obtaining at l...
متن کاملEffects of a low intensity intervention to increase hearing protector use among noise-exposed workers.
BACKGROUND Farm operators experience exposure to high noise and high prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss, but use of hearing protection in this worker group is low. The purpose of this study was to test a brief intervention to increase farm operators' use of hearing protection. METHODS In this one-group pre- and post-test study, a random sample of 32 members of a farmers' organization wa...
