When establishing and maintaining an audiometric testing program, employers must include baseline audiograms, annual audiograms, training, and follow-up procedures.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>BASELINE AUDIOGRAMS<\/strong><br \/>A baseline audiogram is used in reference to compare future audiograms and must be completed within six months of the employee&#8217;s initial exposure at or above an 8- hour average of 85 dB.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>ANNUAL AUDIOGRAMS<\/strong><br \/>Annual audiograms must be provided within one year of the baseline audiogram and maintained on a yearly basis thereafter. This test is to determine whether the employee has had any loss or impairment of hearing from the baseline audiogram. It&#8217;s vital to ensure the timeliness of this test to detect any hearing impairment or a standard threshold shift (STS) as soon as possible.<\/p><p>An STS is an average shift (hearing loss) of 10 dB or more at 2,000, 3,000, and 4,000 hertz in either ear. These two audiograms are graphical representations of hearing tests. The red circles are for the right ear and the blue X&#8217;s are for the left ear hearing thresholds. That refers to the softest sound that can be heard at each frequency. They correspond to loudness in decibels indicated on the left side.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ddb252a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ddb252a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2d06b1c\" data-id=\"2d06b1c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed80ed9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed80ed9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>BASELINE AUDIOGRAM:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58e2fa1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"58e2fa1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"838\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mobilehearingcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BASELINE-AUDIOGRAM.png?fit=800%2C838&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-822\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mobilehearingcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BASELINE-AUDIOGRAM.png?w=936&amp;ssl=1 936w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mobilehearingcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BASELINE-AUDIOGRAM.png?resize=287%2C300&amp;ssl=1 287w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mobilehearingcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BASELINE-AUDIOGRAM.png?resize=768%2C804&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5549c3f\" data-id=\"5549c3f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78670d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"78670d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>RECENT AUDIOGRAM:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-811e5dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"811e5dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"745\" height=\"754\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mobilehearingcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/RECENT-AUDIOGRAM.png?fit=745%2C754&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-823\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mobilehearingcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/RECENT-AUDIOGRAM.png?w=745&amp;ssl=1 745w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mobilehearingcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/RECENT-AUDIOGRAM.png?resize=296%2C300&amp;ssl=1 296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2e9251 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a2e9251\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This employee has lost a significant degree of hearing as shown in recent audiogram.<\/p><p>Noise induced hearing loss is permanent!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OSHA REQUIREMENTS It&#8217;s imperative that corporations with employees in such working conditions monitor their hearing over time to ensure their safety and implement an audiometric testing program in the workplace.
