THE Temporal parameters of short and long-LATENT auditory evoked potentials in Operators of Automated bottling OF NON-ALCOHOLIC AND LOW-ALCOHOLIC DRINKS

Abstract

Objective: to study the state of the auditory analyser central regions in operators of automated bottling of non-alcoholic and low-alcoholic drinks working in the conditions of exposure to high-level industrial noise. Material and methods. The work gives the hygienic assessment of working conditions and related factors, and in-depth clinical examination of the auditory analyser condition in operators of automated bottling of non-alcoholic and low-alcoholic drinks. Results. It has been found that the leading harmful factor in the working environment of the bottling operators is industrial noise. The signs of the specific impact of the noise on the central regions of the auditory analyser manifested in the function infringement of its brainstem and cortical structures. Conclusion. The causal relationship between the conditions, nature of work and the changes in the central regions of auditory analyser in the bottling operators has been established, which makes it possible to improve the system of preventive medical examinations, labour examination and preventive measures.
