[Risk of developing occupational hearing loss among uranium mining workers].
Underground working conditions of uranium mining production are characterized by the predominance of industrial noise, determining a high occupational risk of hearing loss.
Objective: To perform the analysis of occupational risk of hearing loss in uranium mining workers.
Material and methods: The indicators of working conditions of uranium mining production of the «Rosatom» state corporation and tonal threshold audiometry data of 113 staff members as a part of preventive medical examination were used; a priori and a posteriori occupational risks of hearing loss were determined.
Results: The highest levels of industrial noise and the highest noise dose have been noted in stope miners (SMs), that determines a priori risk of their hearing function impairment. The mean length of service in persons of SMs group is over 25 years. Indicators of a posteriori risk of occupational sensorineural hearing loss are predominant in SMs with long service period (25 years and more) - 50%.
Conclusion: The highest occupational risk of hearing loss is identified in stope miners, that means the need to optimize preventive measures to preserve their hearing function.
