GOMEZ ALVAREZ, Ana et al. Determination of the hearing for the purposes of required requirements for driving. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2015, vol.61, n.238, pp.78-85. ISSN 1989-7790.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0465-546X2015000100008.

Conclusions: It would be desirable that the General Drivers Regulations own concrete procedure be established to calculate the limitations in cases where there are several possible methods of calculation, such as auditory acuity. It's necessary to take the criteria and conclusions on the outcome of the assessment of fitness to drive according to the requirements of the RGC to generally reduce disputes arising case of discrepancy, and in these cases arbitrate operating procedures. If we accept that for the assessment of work capacity in certain professions (those that include among its key requirements driving motor vehicles), one factor to consider is the provisions of Annex IV of the RGC, it would be important that there consensus on the interpretation of it looking homogenization and harmonization of approaches among actors with competence in the assessment of disabilities, in order to follow homogeneous criteria throughout the national territory and decrease interobserver variability.
