Noise complaints are frequent in call centers, while the noise levels usually found are below the regulatory thresholds. Hearing fatigue, often referred to by teleoperators, corresponds to saturation of the cochlea caused by prolonged noise exposure. A new device developed by INRS, the EchoScan, can objectively identify the occurrence of auditory fatigue by measuring the variation of the trigger of the middle ear reflex between the beginning and the end of work. The main objective was to assess the prevalence of auditory fatigue in a population of teleoperators using EchoScan. The secondary objective was to identify factors associated with the development of auditory fatigue. Seven call centers and 49 employees were included in the study. A...
