Abstract: Resumo ObjetivoEstimar as prevalências de perda auditiva induzida por ruído e hipertensão arterial em condutores de ônibus urbanos. Métodos Executou-se estudo transversal em amostra probabilística de 108 motoristas da cidade de Campinas, SP. Aplicou-se questionário sobre história profissional, jornadas de trabalho e repouso, e realizou-se exame físico e laboratorial incluindo medida da pressão arterial, audiometria tonal limiar, logoaudiometria e dados antropométricos, após a obtenção de consentimento.

“…Correa Filho et al carried out a study involving drivers from eight different bus companies and found a 32.7% prevalence of NIHL, with a predominance at 6 kHz, which characterizes an advanced stage of NIHL. The authors also found that NIHL was associated to both age above 45 years and longer than six years of work experience [51]. In the present study, mean work experience at the firm was  6.4 ± 5  years.…”

“…Such exposure causes successive aggression to the internal structures of the ear, such as the organ of Corti, and leads to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) [5153]. In the present study, the prevalence of NIHL was 18.6% and 22.3% in the left and right ears, respectively, and the most accentuated loss was recorded at the frequency of 4 kHz.…”

“…In this study it was found that the most affected frequency is 6 kHz, and such data have been found in other previous studies, according to which the acoustic notch at 6000 Hz is as or more frequent than at 4000 Hz 5,6,13 . The authors believe that this is currently being verified because of both the characteristics of the modern audiometers, and the requirement of compliance with the determination of labor legislation.…”

“…Cordeiro et al 31 (1994) found NIHL prevalence around 45% among 292 drivers and collectors from public transportation vehicles from the city of Campinas, whilst Martins et al 32 (2002), in a study carried out in Bauru, found the disorder in 37% of the workers with the same professional characteristics. Also with those drivers and collectors, Corrêa Filho et al 33 (2002), found a NIHL prevalence of about 33%.…”
