title: [A computerized system for the protection of the hearing of workers exposed to noise].
abstract: The periodical audiometric examinations carried out in order to identify persons with high susceptibility to acoustic trauma is very important in the hearing protection projects concerning workers occupationally exposed to noise. The authors present a computerized system which allows collection and analysis of the results of medical and audiometric examinations. Computer analysis of audiometric data helps to select and protect the workers with dynamic progression of hearing impairment. We believe that the hearing protection system we propose may improve medical care for the workers at risk.
