Occupational noise study
Text describing a study on occupational noise. For the UK
This term came up in the Proz glossary before (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/construction_ci... but I don´t think any of the suggestions fit this context. I've seen the word 'discretize' used, but I'm not convinced. Doesn´t seem to be used much in Spanish either.
En la variable grado de alteración se comprueba que los niveles se ajustan a las condiciones de un evento de Cox, evento no repetible. El análisis se ha realizado sobre cada uno de los eventos indicados: sano/alterado; recuperable/no recuperable; sin caídas / con caídas en frecuencias conversacionales.
Como la alteración auditiva por ruido sigue una evolución continua, que la clasificación de Klockhoff et al. (1973) **discretiza**, acertar mediante una audiometría el momento concreto de paso de un grado de alteración a otro es una cuestión de azar, lo que condiciona que una determinada alteración acepte mejor en su definición un intervalo temporal, que la expresión “momento en que se produce el evento”.

4. Grado de alteración audiométrica (Galt). Presenta cinco categorías ordenadas basadas en la clasificación de Klockhoff y col16: sano (S); trauma acústico inicial (TAI); trauma acústico avanzado (TAA); hipoacusia leve (HLEV) e hipoacusia avanzada (HAV).
Como la alteración auditiva por ruido sigue una evolución continua, que la clasificación de Klockhoff y col16 discretiza, acertar en la audiometría el momento concreto de paso de un grado de alteración a otro, interpretando la manifestación dichos grados como eventos concretos, es casi una cuestión de azar, lo que condiciona que la manifestación de una determinada alteración acepte bastante mejor en su definición un intervalo temporal, que la expresión «momento en que se produce el evento», ya que ésta expresa un marcado carácter puntual ajeno a esta fenomenología. Lo normal es reconocer situaciones por encima o por debajo del «evento teórico», aunque éstas sean próximas. Esta característica suaviza la limitación impuesta por el momento en que se manifiesta el evento y reduce el sesgo asociado a la censura a efectos explicativos.

: this term is not sufficiently scientific, and is too woolly. We are talking about audiometry here, which is a measuring instrument. Also, you have supplied no references whatsoever on such an important methodology.

turns into /approximates to a discrete number
The concept as explained is that the phenomenon (noise alteration) is continuous, but the measurement scale (Klockhoff classification in the text) is discrete. As suggested by Wendy, there is obviously the verb discretize, but I have never seen it used in this kind of context.

If you want to avoid discretize, which has been suggested now anyway.
