HEARING

  1. What reference?
    5100.19F
  2. What are the three times to test for hearing?
    • Reference (baseline) hearing test (entry in Naval Service)
    • Monitoring hearing test (annual)
    • Termination hearing test (termination of Naval Service)
  3. How often are noise hazardous noise areas surveyed?
    When new equipment is added or removed
  4. Who surveys noise hazardous areas?
    Industrial Hygienist
  5. When is hearing protection required?
    • Continuous noise levels of 84 decibels (db) = single
    • Continuous noise levels of 104 db = double
    • Impact noise levels of 140 db = single
    • Impact noise levels of 160 db = double
  6. What are hearing testing requirements?
    Annual audiograms. If the test is failed once there will be a repeat. If the recalculated threshold/baseline is low enough, you will get examined by an audiologist. Otherwise your baseline will just be readjusted to the lower level.
  7. How do you know a space is 84db and requires single level hearing protection?
    • Spaces have yellow and black placards outside entrances that specify requirements. Spaces are tested by an Industrial Hygienist.
    • Tests normally occur after major equipment is installed/removed after a maintenance period.
  8. What is an STS (Significant threshold Shift)?
    A change of 15 db or greater at a test frequency from 1,000 hz to 4,000 hz in either ear or a change in hearing averaging 10 db or more at 2000, 3000, and 4000 hz in either ear.
  9. Who are enrolled in the hearing program?
    • Engineers
    • BM
    • Air
    • SH
  10. What is the purpose of the Hearing Program?
    To prevent occupational hearing loss and assure auditory fitness for duty of all navy personnel
  11. What is required when you fail an audiogram?
    14 hours out of the space with 80 db
  12. What is STS?
    Significant Threshold Shift
  13. What ratings on the ship are enrolled in the HCP?
    ?
  14. Who determines noise hazardous areas onboard ship?
    ?
  15. What instruction and Chapter covers hearing conversation?
    5100.19, B4
