Towards an Epidemiological Procedure for the Classification of Results from Screening Audiometry among Noise Exposed Workers
Résumé
Dans l'état actuel des pratiques, les méthodes de classification des résultats d'examens de dépistage de la surdité professionnelle ne permettent pas de définir clairement l'ampleur du problème du bruit d'une usine donnée. Une méthode épidémiologique fondée entre autres sur les effets de l'âge sur l'acuité auditive est proposée. Un exemple d'application de la procédure est présentée sous la forme d'un bilan collectif d'une population de travailleurs d'un complexe sidérurgique. Le bilan montre qu'en moyenne un travailleur a approximativement 4 chances sur 10 d'être atteint d'une perte auditive significative due au bruit de l'usine après 15 années de travail. La fiabilité de la procédure est discutée en fonction de l'effectif de la population cible et de l'influence des facteurs extra-professionnels de détérioration de l'audition.Fichiers supplémentaires
