Abstract

This article presents a hygienic assessment of the impact of modern occupational environmental factors on the functional state of the visual and auditory analyzers in individuals engaged in mental labor. Based on high-ranking studies published between 2018 and 2026 and indexed in international scientific databases, the effects of digital screens, visual workload, office noise, and headphone use on sensory systems were evaluated. The findings demonstrated that computer vision syndrome, accommodative dysfunctions, auditory threshold shifts, and adverse interactions between sensory analyzers contribute to reduced work performance. The importance of comprehensive hygienic preventive measures aimed at preserving sensory system health was substantiated.
