This study aimed to verify the scientific production on auditory health training in the last five years. This is an exploratory research onthe following databases: MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS. We performed an integrative review of the published literature from 2007 to 2011, using the keywords: Hearing, Hearing Impairment, Hypoacusis and Hearing loss. People with Hearing Loss, Hearing Impaired People, combined with: Training, Training Services, Family Health Program, Human Resources Training in Health. It was found 31 articles, five were selected, which contemplated the topic researched. Of these, three were directed to the Community Health Workers who work at the Family Health Teams, the aim of these articles were verify the effectiveness of training in relation to the children’s auditory health, and two were directed to company workers, whose goal wasto raise awareness among the professionals about prevention of the hearing impairment in professional activities. One of the studieswith Community Health Agents used video conference and classroom training simultaneously and the other only classroom training. It was observed that video conference is one of ways that can provide knowledge dissemination; however it must be used in a complementary manner. In studies with workers were found that the training must be permanent and focus the use, handling and maintenance of hearing protectors. The publications confirm the effectiveness of training; however, there are few studies in this area which reinforces the importance of new researches focusing auditory health education.
