Resumo: | The aim of this study was to measure the frequency of hearing loss in a sample of typical public high-school students exposed to recreational noise, and determine associated risk factors. The sample was made up of 214 teenagers from a high-school in Mexico City; subjects were selected randomly per strata. We applied a questionnaire to identify risk factors for hearing loss and performed a battery of audiologic tests consisting of otoscopy, tympanometry, and pure-tone audiometry. The mean age of the sample was 16 ± 1.07 years; 73% were male and 27%, female. Hearing loss was found in 21% of students. The main hearing loss-related risk factor was exposure to recreational noise: frequent attendance at discotheques and pop-music concerts; use of personal stereos; and noise exposure in school workshops. The high frequency of hearing loss in high school students from one Mexico City school (nearly one fifth of the sample) was found to be related to noise exposure mainly during recreational activities. |

La muestra estuvo constituida por 214 adolescentes de una escuela de la Ciudad de México. Los sujetos fueron seleccionados al azar por medio de una computadora. Se aplicaron cuestionarios con el objeto de identificar los factores de riesgo para alteraciones auditivas y se les practicaron diversos estudios audiológicos consistentes en: otoscopía, timpanometría y una audiometría a tonos puros. La edad media de la muestra fue de 16 ± 1,07 años, 73% fueron del sexo masculino y 27% femenino. Se encontraron alteraciones auditivas en 21% de los estudiantes. Los principales factores de riesgo asociados a alteraciones auditivas fueron: exposición al ruido recreativo al asistir a discotecas, conciertos de música popular, el uso de equipos de sonido personales y la exposición al ruido en los talleres escolares. Se halló una alta frecuencia (casi una quinta parte) de alteraciones auditivas en alumnos de educación media superior asociada a la presencia de ruido recreativo excesivo.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2009-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4007Reports in Public Health; Vol. 25 No. 12 (2009): DecemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 25 n. 12 (2009): Dezembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4007/8141https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4007/8142Martínez-Wbaldo, María del ConsueloSoto-Vázquez, ClaudiaFerre-Calacich, IvonneZambrano-Sánchez, ElizabethNoguez-Trejo, LucíaPoblano, Adriáninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:27:57Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/4007Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:04:37.624467Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true |
