| ABSTRACT |
|
The accuracy of audiomertric results of noise-exposed workers came out to the main issue on occupational health from late eighties.
The discrepancy of the results for same person from different medical providers made the diagnosis for occupational diseases be
unreliable. Pure-tone audiometric test can be influenced by technical as well as biological variables, and the quality control of test
has been stressed as an important part of hearing conservation program. Therefore, the Korean audiometric quality control program
for the special health examination was performed by the Industrial Safety and Health Research Institute in Korea, 1996. This study
was conducted to evaluate the current status of audiometric testing program in workers’ health examination, and the variability of test
results when quality control is not achieved. It was investigated the current status of facility, equipment, and man power of the
organization of hearing measurement and then reviewed the quality control program to check the applicability to meet the development
of quality control program. Audiometic quality control program about periodic special examination agencies and examiners
will continue to be needed and also the evaluation of hearing loss should be performed and controlled using accurate criteria. This
will reduce the error among examiners and results in individuals by means of a standard that is capable of being accurate and reliable. |
