Abstrakt		The aim of the article is to describe the case of the occupational hearing loss in a glass machine worker who is now 45 years old and to describe procedures adopted by this worker, his employer, the occupational physician and the commission for the assessment of the disability. The exposure to the noise was assessed by noise measurement. The medical history, clinical ear status and the audiometric test data helped to prove the chronic occupational hearing loss. The worker started to work in 1987 and three years later the light noise-induced loss of hearing progressed to 40 dB at freguencies of 4000 Hz. The damage increased to deafness after 19 years of his working life. The ranges of the noise values were 90.9 - 97. 7 dB(A) in the period from 1993 to 2003. The occupational physician defined the noise-induced hearing loss as an occupational disease, but the commission for the assessment of the disability has still not confirmed it.
Izvleček		Namen prispevka je prikazati primer poklicne okvare sluha pri strojnem steklarju (starem 45 let) in postopke delavca, delodajalca, zdravnika in invalidske komisije pri reševanju tega primera. Izpostavljenost hrupu je ocenjena z meritvami ravni hrupa. Z annmnezo, kliničnim pregledom in avdiometrijsko preiskavo je dokazana oboje,stranska kronična okvara sluha. Tri leta po izpostavljenosti hrupu (1987 leta) je ugotovljena lažja okvara sluha do 40 dB levo in desno v frekvencah 4000 Hz, ki je napredovala do obojestranske gluhosti po 19 letih delovne dobe. Raven hrupa je bila v obdobju 1993-2003 90, 9-97, 7 dB(A). Okvaro sluha je specialist medicine dela opredelil kot poklicno bolezen, vendar jo Invalidska komisija ni potrdila.
