摘要: PURPOSE: to investigate the occurrence of noise induced hearing loss in carpenters, characterizing for age group, time total exposure and regular use protectors during time. METHOD: retrospective descriptive study a population 80 construction attended at private clinic. 60 workers were analyzed, as data on medical history record audiometric testing. RESULTS: 49% shoed normal hearing, being 58% with bilaterally thresholds 35% notch 3 kHz, 4 kHz and/or 6 kHz. 44% showed suggestive profile NIHL, these 74% classified bilateral NIHL 19% unilateral NIHL. There significant differences between group variables (p=0.001), well occupational (p=0,002). CONCLUSION: greater length employment carpenter were, their loss, mainly due loud working day, we also noted that measures taken order control auricular protector are insufficient prevent loss. Therefore, suggest active preventive health this studied population, field civil construction.
