“…Evidence has shown that an inadequately administered hearing education programme has little influence on behaviour and attitude. Folmer 61 examined a programme where, although adequate materials and space within the curriculum were available for educating school children about the exposure to loud noise and its effects, they had not been implemented effectively. Chesky 62 also found that there was very little or no information and/or education towards health risks associated with music exposure, even in music education schools and colleges.…”

Introduction: Adolescents and young adults have been shown to be the age group most at risk of music-induced hearing loss (MIHL), which is already evident and increasing among this group. Objective: The purpose of this review is to provide further insight into the effectiveness of education programmes on attitude and behaviour towards loud music exposure in adolescents and young adults, and to suggest positive and influential ways of delivering hearing health education. Methods: Literature searches were conducted using various databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). Authors went through the abstracts of these articles to identify those which were potentially relevant; subsequently the full articles were retrieved. Results: This review highlights the dangers of significant exposure to music on hearing mechanics in adolescents and young adults, and shows that this danger continues to increase with modern music culture. Because the consequences are not immediate, it is difficult for the young to perceive the seriousness of a problem that may not present itself for many years. Conventional education may go a little way in helping to raise awareness but a raised awareness of consequences does not, in itself, change behaviour. There is a significant gap in literature regarding effective methods of education that will inspire attitude change, and have a bearing on actions. Conclusion: This review has concluded that there is a lack of understanding of how to best influence and educate adolescents and young adults in a way that will motivate and encourage a change in listening habits. It is of vital importance that these groups are made aware of the immediate and future dangers, and how changes in listening behaviour do not necessarily lower their enjoyment.

Introduction Hearing loss can compromise the language, learning process, and socialization of students. Objective Study the audiometric findings among Curitiba and Metropolitan Area students. Methods Analysis of data collected at the hearing health service of Paraná State special education and inclusion department. Results The sample consisted of 646 students, children and teenagers of both genders (38.2% female and 61.8% male), with average age of 8.12 years (range 2 to 15); all were students of public or private schools of Curitiba and Metropolitan Area. The justifications to refer the students to audiometric evaluation were: otolaryngologists diagnosis (73.1%), school difficulties (39.6%), and midlevel hearing problems (32%). Audiometric results showed that 29.5% of the students had hearing loss. Conductive hearing losses showed the greatest occurrence among preschool students (right ear 38.6%, left ear 39.8%). The predominant hearing loss degree was mild (RE 20.5%, LE 19.3%) to slight (RE 17%, LE 19.3%), as was the horizontal configuration (RE 81.5%, LE 78.4%). A significant relationship (p = 0.0000) between hearing loss and poor school performance was noted. Conclusion Considering the available data, especially the high number of findings of conductive losses, it is necessary to highlight prevention and diagnosis of early hearing alteration. Nevertheless, Brazil, as an emerging country, has been pursuing improvement in health and life quality of all citizens.

Raktažodžiai: triukšmo lygis, mokiniai, mokyklos vidinė aplinka. SantraukaLietuvoje visuomeninės paskirties pastatų patalpose, kuriose vyksta mokymas ir (ar) ugdymas, triukš-mo lygį valstybė reglamentuoja riboti iki 55 dB(A Triukšmo patologinis laipsnis priklauso nuo jo intensyvumo ir poveikio trukmės. Itin pavojingas triukšmas, veikiantis naktį besiilsintį žmogų. Žmonės, gyvenantys šalia intensyvios eismo gatvės, kurioje naktį sklinda 55 ir daugiau decibelų triukšmas, dažniau skundžiasi padidėju-siu kraujospūdžiu, padidėja miokardo infarkto, migrenos rizika, kraujyje padidėja cholesterolio kiekis [3].Klausos nuovargis išsivysto ilgesnį laiką (kelias valandas ar visą darbo pamainą) veikiant intensyviam triukšmui, kuris didesnis nei 85 dB. Jei klausa perdirginama ir klausos nuovargis kartojasi kasdien, tai ilgainiui gali vystytis progresuojantis klausos susilpnėjimas, kuris dažniausiai baigiasi profesiniu neurosensorinės kilmės kurtumu [4,5]. Nuolatinis triukšmas sukelia klausos nervinių ląstelių metabolinį išsekimą. Triukšmo pirmiausia yra veikiamos vidinės ausies sraigėje esančios sensoepitelinės ląstelės, suyra šių ląstelių segmentai, o vėliau degeneruoja klausos nervas dėl mielinio dangalo degeneracinių procesų [6,7]. Triukšmo nespecifinis poveikis organizmui pasireiškia funkciniu centrinės ir vegetacinės nervų sistemos pakenkimu -veikiamos širdies ir kraujagyslių sistemos, kiek mažiau kvėpavimo sistema, sutrikdoma medžiagų apykaita
