ABSTRACT

The determination of the behavior of the hearing loss induced by noise in workers using a standardized instrument is our experience of work of the last 4 years, where we pick up the risks factors of more important that are involved in this health problem, those of the occupational environment, clinical antecedents, physical examination and audition study, and we make a rigorous analysis of the same ones. In this work we compare 3 groups of workers of different industries, and in the same one we have increased the sample for their statistical but subjected prosecutions to the same occupational risks. We work to achieve a multivariate analysis of variance ( MANOVA) of this affection, since it is the statistical method used to establish the contribution of several factors in oneself result or event and the dependent variables and the variable answers that intervene of this problem of health to settle down.
