  • Title: [Classification of hearing loss in industrial workers for the purpose of expert testimony].
    Author: Kuźniarz J, Swierczyński Z.
    Journal: Med Pr; 1986; 37(3):187-92. PubMed ID: 3773700.
    Abstract:
    Periodical examinations of 472 industrial workers exposed to noise promoted classification of those workers' hearing into four categories: A. Normal hearing, B. Non-noise-induced impairments, C. Multi-causal impairments, not excluding noise, D. Chronic acoustic trauma. To the particular categories, appropriate qualifying, preventive or therapeutic procedure have been ascribed. Appropriate hearing category (A, B, C or D) entered into the worker's health record book would spare repeating the medical examinations at a new workplace, simplify administrative, certificatory (selection of the workplace, prevention or treatment) and claiming procedures.
