The general objective was to identify occupational sensorineural hearing loss due to noise exposure in workers of the Municipal Decentralized Autonomous Government of the province of Napo - Ecuador. The study was descriptive. The study population consisted of 55 employees. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the study population consisted of 52 workers of the road equipment. Although there is no statistically significant relationship between occupational sensorineural hearing loss due to noise exposure in workers of the Municipal Decentralized Autonomous Government of the province of Napo, it is evident that there are workers who do present audiometries with sensorineural hearing loss and acoustic trauma, most of them being asymptomatic, most of them exposed to high noise levels, with a seniority in their jobs of more than 10 years and daily exposure to noise of 5 to 8 hours.
