Objective: to identify occupational sensorineural hearing loss due to noise exposure in workers of the Municipal Decentralized Autonomous Government of Napo province. Methods: Descriptive observational study. Results: Regarding noise exposure outside of work, no person is exposed daily to this type of noise, but there is a percentage of 1.9% exposed weekly by discotheques and 3.8% by hunting and motorcycling, and 3.8% exposed monthly by firearms. Conclusions: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a fairly common clinical finding in otolaryngology. Most cases are classified as idiopathic and there is a paucity of information on factors capable of predicting response to treatment and auditory recovery. Individuals with migraine patients are at increased risk of developing SSHL.
