“…Besides, according to him, data suggested that average college students know very little about the prevalence of noise induced hearing loss and its implications, hence, they relate to noise levels in the environment everyday. In the same vein, the study of Edward and Manohar (2016) also supported the present finding as they reported that out of 111 industrial workers, none of them was aware that noise causes hearing loss, yet, many of them are prone to the risk. Similarly, from the study of Chung, Roches, et al (2005), it was found out that only 8% of participants labeled noise induced hearing loss as "a very big problem".…”

“…A lot of research work has established correlation between exposure to noise and noise induced hearing loss. From the study carried out by Edward, Manohar, et al (2016), it was reported that out 111 workers that were exposed to noise, 51% had noise induced hearing loss, the average ambient noise being 80.5dB. In the study of Musiba (2015), the prevalence of noise induced hearing loss was 47% with 12% having poor hearing and 35% mild heaing impairment.…”

Background: India has over 50 million workers employed in industries with exposure to very high sound levels, predisposing them to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by using the following criteria: (1) Observational or experimental studies conducted in India; (2) English language studies; (3) Published during January 2010–December 2019; (4) Primary outcome: proportion of participants detected with NIHL. We reviewed bibliographic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and DOAJ) and Google Scholar, and extracted the relevant data. Results: A total of 160 documents were identified after removing duplicates, and 33 full texts were screened, of which 22 studies were included. The mean (SD) effective sample size of the studies was 107.1 (78.9). The pooled proportion of participants with NIHL irrespective of the category was 0.49 (95%CI: 0.22–0.76) and that of hearing loss was 0.53 (95%CI: 0.28– 0.78). Most studies reported that none of the workers, especially in the informal sectors, used auditory protection. Conclusions: NIHL is a major neglected public health occupational health challenge in India linked with adverse social determinants of health. Sustained advocacy for implementation of legislative and behavior change communication for protecting the hearing of workers is warranted.

“…Além disso, em indivíduos mais velhos, a presbiacusia associada à exposição ao ruído podem potencializar a deterioração dos limiares auditivos (Gates et al, 2000;Rosenhall, 2003); desta forma, há uma maior chance de que um grupo de trabalhadores expostos a ruído com perda auditiva tenha uma faixaetária mais elevada, quando comparado a um grupo de trabalhadores sem perda auditiva (Edward et al, 2016).…”

“…Nota-se, também, que a queixa de hipoacusia só foi relatada pelo G2, com 68,8% dos participantes deste grupo referindo-a. Edward et al (2016), em estudo com trabalhadores expostos a ruído, verificaram no grupo com PAINPSE, que a queixa auditiva mais comum foi a hipoacusia, com prevalência de 52,6%.…”

Dedico este trabalho aos meus pais, base da minha vida e fonte de inspiração, que sempre se preocuparam, ampararam e compreenderam a necessidade da minha ausência nos últimos anos. Minha eterna gratidão. Agradecimentos À Deus, por todas as oportunidades que me ofereceu e por me guiar nessa jornada. Aos meus pais, Cleide e Carlos, que sempre incentivaram e apoiaram as minhas escolhas. Aos meus tios, Rose e Denilson, e aos meus primos, Daia, Dani e Rafa, por me receberem de braços abertos e cuidarem de mim como filho e irmão. Às pequenas, Allicia e Lorena, por fazerem dos meus fins de semana mais divertidos e alegres. À professora Alessandra Samelli, que aceitou (mais uma vez) o desafio de ser minha orientadora. Por ter me guiado nessa jornada, estando presente em todos os momentos, principalmente nos mais difíceis. Por apoiar e acreditar nas minhas ideias (muitas vezes malucas), e me ensinar a ser um profissional e uma pessoa melhor. Enfim, por ser fonte de inspiração e fazer acreditar que é possível oferecer sempre mais aos nossos pacientes. Às docentes do curso de Fonoaudiologia, que tiveram um papel importante no meu desenvolvimento profissional. À Re Moreira, supervisora, preceptora, amiga, irmã. Grande companhia de corridas e batatas fritas. Obrigado por tudo que me ensinou, pelas contribuições para minha formação profissional e pessoal. Você também é fonte de inspiração, como profissional e pessoa.
