Noise-induced hearing loss is currently the most frequent professional disease in Italy. Genetic polymorphisms of genes involved in the pathophysiology of hearing loss may confer vulnerability to the damage. To obtain data on these polymorphisms able to make a single worker more susceptible or resistant than others to the damage of the organ of Corti after exposure to noise, may allow a more efficient prevention.
