OBJECTIVE: To investigate the audiological profile of military police officers in the region of Fortaleza-CE and verify that the audiologic findings are compatible with a possible hearing loss induced by noise-PAIR. MATERIAL/METHODS: Retrospective study of 80 military police officers (160 ears) in order to verify the data obtained from audiology, pure tone audiometry, and speech audiometry. The audiometric findings were analyzed according to the classification of Merluzzi et al. (1979) in order to verify audiometry in noise-induced hearing loss. RESULTS: Classification of the audiometric findings revealed 10 (6.25%) normal ears, 55 (34.37%) ears with grade 1 hearing loss, 42 (25%) with grade 2 loss, 45 (28.12%) with grade 3 loss, and 8 (5%) with hearing loss of grade 7. In the pure tone audiometry analysis, it was possible to verify that the peaks are located at higher hearing thresholds at frequencies of 4 kHz and 6 kHz, as commonly observed in audiometry with noise-induced hearing loss. Evaluation of patient histories indicated that much of the population studied had some type of symptom. The main ones were tinnitus (n = 30/37, 50%), ear fullness (n = 15/18, 75%), and reduced speech comprehension (n = 6/5, 25%). CONCLUSION: Audiologic data analysis revealed that the military police officers are a population at risk for developing a PAIR due to exposure to occupational noise and the impact noise of firearms. Simple audiometric testing is an important means of detection and management control of NIHL.
