Audiological evaluation in workers exposed to noise and pesticide
Unlabelled:
Noise-induced hearing loss has been studied for many years and today many experts also investigate the synergic action of chemical products, since they can be potentially ototoxic.
Aim:
to investigate the audiological findings in workers exposed to occupational noise and pesticide and to compare it to data from noise-exposed workers.
Study Design:
Clinical retrospective.
Material And Method:
individuals that had been exposed to pesticide and noise (group I), and individuals that had been exposed to noise only (group II).
Results:
The classification of the audiometric findings showed in that group I: 35% had normal hearing thresholds, 53.75% had degree 1 hearing loss and 11.25% had degree 2 hearing loss; and group II had 57.5% of normal hearing, 40% had degree 1 hearing loss and only 2.5% had degree 2 hearing loss. The analysis of the audiometric findings also showed a significant worsening after comparing groups I and II thresholds, in the frequency of 3 kHz on the left ear and 4 kHz on both ears.
Conclusion:
The analysis showed that group I had worse audiometric thresholds compared to group II.
