Abstract

Exposure to high intensity industrial noise can cause alterations in the different organs of the human body and lead to the appearance of different diseases. Noise is a factor that has been present in the life of human beings since their existence, it is generated in most activities and it is also true that it has increased in work environments. This study aims to characterize clinically and epidemiologically the health alterations and to outline intervention actions in the comprehensive care of the effects of noise pollution in workers of the Combinado Lácteo of the Sandino municipality in the period from September 2019 to September 2021. A prospective, descriptive and observational longitudinal study was carried out as a noise emitting source, to the workers of the mentioned factory. The universe consisted of a total of 120 workers directly or indirectly exposed to industrial noise. The sample consisted of 46 cases with a diagnosis of hypoacusis and other health alterations related to noise exposure. Hearing loss (17 % for both sexes), arterial hypertension (39 % for males and 23 % for females) and anxiety (13 % for males and 15 % for females) were the most frequent health disorders in the exposed population.
