ABSTRACT

Introducción: La exposición continua al ruido en el ambiente laboral, generado durante la atención clínica, afecta la capacidad auditiva del personal del área de odontología. No obstante, hay otras características que pudieran estar asociadas a una mayor expresión de esta condición. Objetivo: Identificar factores asociados a capacidad auditiva en estudiantes, docentes y auxiliares de una facultad de odontología. Material y Métodos: Estudio analítico de corte transversal; se seleccionaron aleatoriamente los participantes y se excluyeron personas con diagnóstico clínico de pérdida auditiva hereditaria o previa al inicio del ejercicio profesional o estudiantil. Se realizaron mediciones del ruido en el ambiente laboral y valoraciones audiométricas. Se evaluó asociación entre capacidad auditiva y las variables independientes con Chi2 o Test Exacto de Fisher (significancia estadística p<0,05). Se propone un modelo predictivo para pérdida de capacidad auditiva. Resultados: 193 participantes fueron incluidos, el 35,8% presentaron disminución leve o moderada de su capacidad auditiva (37,2% estudiantes y 30% en docentes-auxiliares). No hubo diferencias entre estudiantes y docentes/auxiliares ni entre el oído derecho e izquierdo. Conclusión: Los años de experiencia clínica, el semestre cursado y el antecedente de tinnitus predicen la aparición de pérdida de capacidad auditiva (AU)


Introduction: Continuous exposure to noise in the work environment, generated during clinical care, affects the hearing capacity of dental staff. However, there are other characteristics that could be associated with a greater expression of this condition. Objective: Identify factors associated with hearing capacity in students, teachers and assistants of a dental school. Material and Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study; participants were randomly selected and people with a clinical diagnosis of hereditary hearing loss or prior to the start of professional or student practice were excluded. Noise measurements were made in the work environment and audiometric evaluations. The association between hearing capacity and the independent variables was evaluated with Chi2 or Fisher’s Exact Test (statistical significance p <0.05). A predictive model for hearing loss is proposed. Results: 193 participants were included, 35.8% had a slight or moderate decrease in their hearing capacity (37.2% students and 30% in teaching assistants). There were no differences between students and teachers / assistants or between the right and left ears. Conclusion: The years of clinical experience, the semester attended and the history of tinnitus predict the appearance of hearing loss (AU)
