title: [Noise and its interference over students in a classroom environment: literature review].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Influence of the acoustic environment on learning.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the possible alterations students of schools found under the impact of internal or external noises may present.
  
  
  METHODS
  Literature review on the following subjects: auditory processing, speech perception, acoustics of classrooms and basic notions about noise.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Schools are under the impact of varied noises that can become invisible opponents to the learning process, especially in a place where the listening situation must be privileged. Audiologists can be part of a multidisciplinary team, helping to monitor these areas and helping to implement hearing conservation programs.
