“…Tinnitus, defined as the perception of sound in the head without an external acoustic source, and which has adverse effect on the daily quality of life 21 , was also present in more than half of the sample researched (57%). A study demonstrated that workers with an average working experience of 6.8 years already have complaint of tinnitus, with this symptom occurring in 70% of the individuals with normal thresholds exposed to occupational noise.…”

Purpose: to describe the audiological profile of professional disc jockeys acting in cities of the Brazilian Federal District. Methods: audiometry, tympanometry, transient evoked emissions, and distortion product evoked emissions exams were conducted, as well as interviews, in order to identify auditory symptoms. Appropriate statistical tests were applied, adopting a significance level lower than 0.05. Results: a total of 21 disc jockeys, aged between 20 and 45 years, were evaluated. The most cited auditory complaints were feeling of ear fullness (86%) and tinnitus (57%). Auditory thresholds remained predominantly within normal range (90%), but thresholds were increased in frequencies from 3 KHz to 6 KHz (38%). Only 42% of the sample presented a pass response in transient evoked emissions, and 81% in distortion product evoked emissions, in both ears. Conclusion: the research identified auditory thresholds predominantly within standards of normality, though with increased high frequencies, that may be associated with noise exposure. The otoacoustic emissions presented alterations both in the transient ones and in the distortion product.

“…In general, to prevent tinnitus, periodic audiological assessments are recommended, care with food (for example, coffee and alcohol when ingested in excess can worsen and / or elicit tinnitus), regular exercise, adequate sleep quality, avoid stress and environments with sound at high sound pressure levels 22,23 . For people working in noisy environments, the use of hearing protectors is essential since prolonged exposure to noise can cause hearing loss and stress, factors that increase the likelihood of being affected 24 .…”

Objective: to develop an educational tool in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), in a website format, to supply information on tinnitus, additional content on hearing and to provide access links to other websites related to speech therapy and audiology, so as to promote public health. Methods: an experimental, descriptive study, involving, in its construction, 6 stages elaborated as follows: planning, adaptation, collection of testimonies, inclusion of content, review and dissemination. Results: the site was titled "Do you have tinnitus?" It was subdivided into others: "Home", "Tinnitus?" "Types of tinnitus," "Main causes," "What to do?" "Main forms of treatment," "Tips to relieve tinnitus," "Prevention," "News," "Testimonials," "About your hearing," "What is hearing loss?" "What are speech therapy and audiology?" "Other sites," "Contact" and "About." Illustrations and videos were inserted, and the information contained in any material was classified with easy readability. Conclusion: it was possible to develop a website entitled “Do you have tinnitus?” available at the electronic address: https://vocetemzumbido.wixsite.com/home, providing general information about tinnitus, in addition to additional information on hearing.

“…Os dados relacionados ao gênero são semelhantes a outros estudos, onde o gênero feminino foi o mais prevalente nas instituições de saúde. Vale ressaltar que a maior parte das mulheres também exerce trabalhos domésticos, denotando assim uma possível dupla jornada, que resulta uma sobrecarga de trabalho, evidenciada pelo desgaste físico e mental (10,(12)(13)(14) . Quando voltamos a discussão para as dores referidas pelos profissionais, é possível afirmar que outros estudos demonstram resultados similares.…”

“…Por conseguinte, é possível dizer que após o tratamento da craniopuntura, a diminuição da dor foi consideravelmente positiva, o que certamente influenciou na melhora das variáveis citadas acima, tendo em vista que diversos estudos correlacionam a dor dos profissionais de saúde com a diminuição da qualidade de vida (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) .…”

Objetivo: Descrever as repercussões da Nova Craniopuntura de Yamamoto (YNSA) na dor e qualidade de vida de profissionais de saúde. Métodos: Estudo do tipo antes e depois, com profissionais de saúde de uma Estratégia de Saúde da Família, que possuíam dores crônicas. Utilizou-se o instrumento WHOQOL-BREF para avaliar a qualidade de vida antes do início e após o término do tratamento com a YNSA, realizado em um período de 4 semanas. Resultados: Obteve-se melhora estatística dos domínios psicológico, ambientais, de dor, das questões 1 e 2 e do resultado final da qualidade de vida, com destaque para o domínio físico (p=0.009). Conclusão: Após o tratamento de YNSA foi possível observar diminuição significativa da dor. Em virtude da melhora da dor também foi possível observar e comprovar a melhora dos domínios que compõem a qualidade de vida.
