História natural da perda auditiva ocupacional provocada por ruído

Abstract: RESUMO -OBJETIVO. Analisar as característicasO som é um agente físico resultante da vibração de moléculas do ar e que se transmite como uma onda longitudinal. É, portanto, uma forma de energia mecânica (WHO, 1980) 1 . O receptor periférico sensível a esta forma de energia, captando-a e transformando-a em impulso elétrico nervoso é o orelha.O aparelho auditivo humano consegue detectar variações de pressão do ar numa faixa de 0,00002 a 200 Newton/m 2 no limiar de audibilidade de freqüências que é de 16 a 20.00… Show more

“…1,7,9,10,12,14,15 Although NIHL has practically reached endemic proportions within the industrial environment, scientific studies on its natural history among Brazilian workers are still scarce. 4 The great imprecision in quantifying the level of individual exposure to noise observed in Brazilian industry should also be noted. Sustained scientific exploration of the behavior of NIHL among these workers therefore becomes necessary.…”

“…4 It is characterized by gradual reduction in auditory acuity, generally over a period of six to ten years of exposure to high levels of sound pressure. 11 It is always neurosensory in nature and irreversible, starting with the loss of high audiometric frequencies.…”

“…1 One of the most relevant effects of exposure to noise is hearing loss, but it may also infl uence several other health disorders, such as: arterial hypertension, occupational accidents, acute stress, inner ear injuries, among others. 2,5,13,19,22 Thus, concern and efforts to eliminate or control this agent are increasing. 1 Government regulation 3.214, promulgated by the Ministry of Labor in Brazil on the 8th of June, 1978, established that medical examinations were required both upon admission to and dismissal from a job whenever the environment at the workplace presented levels of noise that were higher than 85 dB(A) during 8 hours of daily exposure.…”

The above mentioned regulation constitutes an advance inasmuch as this physical agent has been a very prevalent occupational risk factor.…”

“…Even though the lesion in this group is in its beginning stage, the injuries are already irreversible and easily detectible by audiometric tests 18 . In the present study, workers over 45 years of age and with more than 21 years of occupational exposure to noise were the ones most susceptible to lesions due to the continuous occupational to noise.…”
