Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) impacts on about 20% of inability to hear around the world, becoming an increasingly common occupational disease. Objectives: Identify and analyze the latent variables that impact on NIHL in the workplace, finding approaches that relate the understanding of the phenomenon in the occupational context. Methods: Application of questionnaires to 278 workers potentially exposed to occupational noise in an industry in Brazil. After, we used multivariate analysis by Pearson correlation and multiple linear regressions applied on subconstructs identified.
