This study aimed to analyze Noise Induced Hearing Loss among the staff of a public state university in the north of Parana. The research is characterized as a descriptive transversal study, undertaken between June and July 2014. The data were obtained through documental analysis. A total of 131 workers participated in the research, with a mean age of 53 years old, each one undertaking an average of three audiometric examinations. It was observed that in the last audiometric examination undertaken, 30% of the sample group presented some form of hearing loss, representing an increase of 2.3 times, or 230%, of persons with this health problem, in comparison with the reference audiometric examination. These results indicate that it is not enough to undertake occasional audiometric examinations, but that actions for promoting health and preventing harm to health are also necessary, including the worker in the planning and control of her auditory health.
