16
Q

What are the 2 forms associated with HCP?

A

DD 2215- Baseline Audiogram

DD 2216- Monitoring Audiogram

17
Q

If noise levels are less than or equal to 84dBA then…

A

No hearing protection required

18
Q

If noise levels are greater than or equal to 85dBA but less than 96 dBA then…

A

Single hearing pro required

19
Q

If Noise levels equal to 96 dBA or greater then…

A

Double hearing protection required

20
Q

IHO and Occ Audiologist take measurements at what ranges?

A

Noise levels greater than or equal to 85 dB (continuous or intermittent) or 140 dB peak sound level of impact or impulse noise

21
Q

When do the IHO and Occ Audiologist resurvey?

A

30 days after any significant modification or changes in routine.

22
Q

How long are the records kept for and by whom?

A

50 years and kept by the measuring activity.
(IHO or Occupational Audiologist)

23
Q

What is a significant threshold shift (STS)?

A

A change in hearing threshold relative to the current Audiogram of an average of 10 dB or more at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz in either ear.

24
Q

If the STS is positive, the hearing is

A

Poorer

25
Q

If the STS is negative, the hearing is

A

Better than reference

26
Q

Procedure If the STS is -

A

Retest the same day
If still - assume DD 2215 is wrong and establish new reference Audiogram

27
Q

Procedure If the STS is +

A

Retest after 14 hours “Noise free”
Notify Supervisor

28
Q

Procedure if retest of positive STS does not indicate STS…

A

Return to annual monitoring

29
Q

Procedure if the retest of a positive STS showed STS w/ frequencies below 3000 HZ

A

Screen for medical issues
Record in SF600
If abnormal: health care evaluation must be obtained and must be medically cleared
If Normal: perform second retest

30
Q

What is the procedure for the second retest of a positive STS?

A

Can be administered on same day
If no STS indicated: return to normal monitoring
If STS indicated: hearing protection is evaluated, results forwarded to Audiologist or physician for review
Results will typically be used to re-establish reference Audiogram

31
Q

How many days does the supervisor and worker have to be notified of positive STS?

A

21 days

32
Q

Where is the positive STS noted

A

OSH office and entry in OPNAV 5102/7 (log of navy injuries and occupational illness)

33
Q

What’s the purpose of the noise free Audiogram?

A

Physical exclusion period from noise is “auditory rest” for 14 hours to return to pre-exposure levels

34
Q

What are noise abatement strategies?

A

Engineering
Administration

35
Q

What are the types of personal hearing protective devices?

A

Ear plugs: disposable, single/double/triple flange

Straightaway muffs:
Circumaural muff
