Resumo:
Os agrotóxicos podem causar inúmeros problemas de saúde e são considerados agentes otoagressores. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as características auditivas nas altas frequências em trabalhadores com e sem exposição aos agrotóxicos, que apresentaram resultados normais na audiometria convencional. Método: estudo transversal com 87 trabalhadores, de ambos os gêneros, entre 19 e 59 anos, com vínculo de trabalho formal, informal e/ou que atuavam na agricultura familiar e realizaram Audiometria de Altas Frequências. Resultados: o uso de glifosato foi relatado por 73% dos trabalhadores e as misturas de agrotóxicos diversos ocorreram em 78% deles. Não foi identificado uso adequado dos equipamentos de proteção individual recomendados para a atividade agrícola. Os trabalhadores expostos a agrotóxicos apresentaram piores resultados na Audiometria de Altas Frequências quando comparados aos que não tiveram contato com agrotóxicos (p

Abstract:
Pesticides may cause a number of health problems and are considered otoagressive agents. The objective of this study was to investigate the high frequencies hearing characteristics of workers both with and without exposure to pesticides, that presented normal conventional audiometry. Methods: cross-sectional study with 87 workers, of both genders, between 19 and 59 years, with formal or informal jobs and some of them worked with family agriculture using or not pesticides and were performed High-Frequency Audiometry. Results: the use of glyphosate was reported by 73% of workers and pesticide mixtures several occurred in 78% of them. There was no case of proper use of personal protective equipment recommended for the activity. The workers exposed to pesticides had worse results at High-Frequency Audiometry when compared to those who had no contact with pesticides (p
