Event Description:
On March 3, hearing screening was carried out by an audiologist and otoscopy by an otorhinolaryngologist to 100 hospital workers. Wax plugs were removed and education on ear and hearing care was given to the participants. We gave them pins to promote WHD. During the activity, initial acoustic trauma was detected in workers from 2 departments of the hospital. With this information, preventive measures were taken in these groups exposed to noise.
