abstract = "The primary goal of this report is to contribute to the reduction of risk and magnitude of long-term hearing damage, towards a practical minimum for those people habitually exposed to noise in the workplace. A secon\textlnotdary result of reducing noise in the workplace is likely to be
some increase in worker safety due to enhanced ability to hear warning signals, and reduced stress on the job. The regulations, and terms of financial com\textlnotpensation for loss of hearing in several industrialized countries are summarized as examples of current prac\textlnottice. It is hoped
that this summary and resulting recom\textlnotmendations may eventually promote international uniformity, and encourage jurisdictions currently with\textlnotout control of noise levels in the workplace to enact regulations, by showing what is considered by legislators to be socially desirable and
economically feasible in other countries.",
