Noise pollution is an important factor of interruption at work. Having identified it in the Colombian Air Force for 20 years, they such an institution has implemented programs for hearing conservation. The objective of this review study is to compare the results obtained in the diverse reports during this period in order to observe the changes presented in the population during this time with the implemented programs and their impact in the population of Colombian Air Force crew, determining the behavior of hearing loss induced by noise and the use of auditory protectors, as well as self-care in and out of working places. The results observed with the comparisons and the description of the obtained information show a decrease in hearing loss induced by noise. Nonetheless, although hearing loss is appearing at early age, other patologies related to the flights are found; the effectiveness of the hearing conservation programs is highlighted and observed in the daily use of auditory protection.Downloads
