The European Directive 86/188 gives, from 1990, to the workers the right to audiometric surveillance as soon as their personal daily exposure level reaches 85 dB(A). This requirement might lead to a significant increase in the number of audiometric examinations performed in industry. In this prospect, the objective of the present study is to define the criteria for "hearing conservation programs", as opposed to "deafness screening programs". The present situation is then compared to this model in order to determine the actions that have to be taken in preparation for 1990.
自1990年起，欧洲指令86/188规定，一旦工人个人每日接触噪音水平达到85分贝（A），他们就有权接受听力监测。这一要求可能会导致工业领域听力检查数量大幅增加。从这个角度来看，本研究的目的是确定“听力保护计划”而非“耳聋筛查计划”的标准。然后将现状与该模式进行比较，以确定为1990年做准备时必须采取的行动。
