Acoustique - Audiométrie liminaire tonale en conduction aérienne pour les besoins de la préservation de l'ouïe (ISO 6189:1983)

La présente Norme internationale fixe des modes opératoires et des spécifications pour l'audiométrie liminaire tonale par voie aérienne sans masquage qui sont applicables à des personnes dont l'acuité auditive pourrait être affectée par une exposition aux bruits industriels. Des techniques pour l'audiométrie manuelle et pour l'audiométrie avec enregistrement automatique sont présentées.
Les modes opératoires et spécifications présentés dans ce document ne s'appliquent qu'à l'audiométrie liminaire tonale par voie aérienne au moyen d'écouteurs ; les méthodes applicables pour d'autres techniques audiométriques, telle que l'audiométrie liminaire tonale par conduction osseuse, le masquage et l'audiométrie vocale ne sont pas spécifiées. Les techniques d'audiométrie assistées par ordinateur ne sont pas spécifiées mais elles doivent aboutir à des résultats équivalents à ceux obtenus par audiométrie manuelle. Les spécifications de la présente Norme internationale ne sont pas destinées aux applications cliniques et elles ne sont pas applicables non plus telles quelles dans d'autres circonstances, comme pour les besoins scolaires ou pour les services de santé.

Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of developing International Standards is carried out through ISO technical committees. Every member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been authorized has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. International Standard ISO 6189 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, and was circulated to the member bodies in June 1982. lt has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries : Australia Austria Belgium Brazil Canada China Czechoslova kia Denmark Finland Germany, F.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 61894983 (E) Acoustics - Pure tone air conduction threshold audiometry for hearing conservation purposes 0 Introduction This International Standard lays down requirements and pro- cedures for conducting pure tone air conduction threshold audiometry when it is deemed by the responsible authority ap- propriate to monitor the hearing of subjects exposed to noise at work. Monitoring audiometry provides a safeguard against the effects of noise causing hearing loss and monitors the effec- tiveness of procedures such as organizational measures and the wearing of hearing protectors. Since hearing conservation con- cerns normal hearing as weil as impaired hearing, requirements are presented for measuring hearing sensitivity down to levels below the Standard reference zero for the calibration of pure tone audiometers. This International Standard does not present procedures for accomplishing either bone conduction pure tone audiometry or Speech audiometry. In obtaining a reliable measure of hearing sensitivity many fac- tors are involved. lt is essential that audiometers, when in ser- vice, be checked and the calibration maintained. This Interna- tional Standard presents an outline of a calibration scheme. To avoid masking of the test tone of the audiometer by ambient noise in the audiometric test room, the levels of the ambient noise have to lie below certain values. This International Stan- dard gives maximum permissible ambient Sound pressure levels not to be exceeded when hearing threshold levels down to 0 dB (sec ISO 389) have to be measured. It indicates the maximum ambient Sound pressure Ievels which are permissible when other minimum hearing threshold levels have to be measured. Recent exposure to noise may temporarily elevate hearing threshold levels. Procedures to minimize temporary threshold shift during audiometric testing are given. Methods of conducting audiometric tests with manual and automatic recording fixed frequency audiometers are presented in this International Standard. For manual audiometry, a bracketing and an ascending method are specified. Also com- Puter controlled or other automated equipment may be used for the audiometric procedure. lt is essential that the prepara- tion and the instruction of
