RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Estabelecer o perfil audiológico de motoristas agrícolas expostos, simultaneamente, a ruído e hidrocarbonetos.

Métodos:

Foram analisados os prontuários de motoristas com queixas auditivas de uma empresa do ramo agrícola do município de Lençóis Paulista (SP), dentro do Programa de Prevenção de Riscos Ambientais (PPRA). As informações analisadas foram idade, tempo de exposição combinada a ruído e hidrocarbonetos e exames de audiometria tonal liminar de referência. Para a análise da influência da idade e do tempo de exposição sobre os limiares auditivos, ajustaram-se modelos de sobrevivência para dados grupados (riscos proporcionais e logísticos).

Resultados:

Verificou-se que os efeitos da idade e do tempo de exposição combinada a ruído e hidrocarbonetos foram significativos na perda de audição, nos modelos de riscos proporcionais e logísticos.

Conclusão:

É fundamental o desenvolvimento de ações voltadas para a prevenção de perdas auditivas em motoristas agrícolas expostos aos agentes ruído e hidrocarbonetos.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To establish the audiological profile of agricultural drivers simultaneously exposed to noise and hydrocarbons.

Methods:

The study comprised analysis of the medical records of agricultural drivers with hearing complaints, from an agricultural company of Lençóis Paulista (SP), Brazil, within the Environmental Risk Prevention Program. The information analyzed included age, period of simultaneous exposure to noise and hydrocarbons and testing of reference pure tone audiometry. Survival models for grouped data (proportional risk and logistic) were adjusted to analyze the influence of age and period of exposure of hearing thresholds.

Results:

It was observed that the effects of age and period of simultaneous exposure to noise and hydrocarbons were significant for hearing loss in proportional risk and logistic models.

Conclusion:

It is fundamental to develop actions for the prevention of hearing loss in agricultural drivers exposed to the agents noise and hydrocarbons.
