Noise Exposure and its Effects on the Hearing of Indoor Cycling Instructors
To ascertain the influence of occupational exposure to SPL on the hearing threshold of indoor cycling (IC) instructors. This is a cross-sectional study involving eleven IC instructors at fitness centers in Guarapuava, PR, Brazil Questionnaires were applied to assess occupational characteristics and reported auditory and extra-auditory symptoms. The hearing threshold was evaluated by pure tone audiometry testing at seven moments: after 14 h of acoustic rest, and before and immediately after exposure to SPLs of 95, 85 and 75 dB(A), making a total of 77 measurements of the group of instructors. Differences in means were assessed using the Kruskal–Wallis test. The k-means and composition method was applied using principal component analysis to verify the main factors associated with the broadband multi-frequency measurement at the hearing threshold. The average bilateral hearing threshold showed a significant increase at the intensity of 95 dB(A), at all the tested frequencies (p < 0.05) and at most of the frequencies, at 85 dB(A). Conclusions exposure to the equivalent sound pressure levels of 85 dB(A) and 95 dB(A) significantly altered the average hearing threshold of indoor cycling instructors.
期刊介绍:
Acoustics Australia, the journal of the Australian Acoustical Society, has been publishing high quality research and technical papers in all areas of acoustics since commencement in 1972. The target audience for the journal includes both researchers and practitioners. It aims to publish papers and technical notes that are relevant to current acoustics and of interest to members of the Society. These include but are not limited to: Architectural and Building Acoustics, Environmental Noise, Underwater Acoustics, Engineering Noise and Vibration Control, Occupational Noise Management, Hearing, Musical Acoustics.
