Abstract

Aims: It was observed that research on hearing loss by sound pressure levels has been occupying a prominent place in the literature, the present study aims to measure and analyze noise exposure and its symptoms in the hearing health of athletes from Clube Atlético Deportivo -CAD, from the city of Guarapuava-PR. Methodology: Fourteen athletes were evaluated through an auditory questionnaire, then the noise levels caused during training and official games of the National League and Paranaense Futsal Championship 2017 were collected. Results: The results showed that the sound pressure levels that the athletes are exposed range from 60 to 71 dB(A) on training days and from 81 to 84 dB(A) on match days, with peaks of variations from 93.9 to 106.6 dB(A) when a team goal is scored. Conclusion: These levels are above those indicated by the Occupational Hygiene Standard (NHO) of 2001, as a level of acoustic comfort.
