Hearing Exam
what does NIHL stand for - Answer-noise induced hearing loss
what is tinitus? - Answer-ringing in the ears
what are some other health risks to exposure of hazardous noise? - Answer-increase BP, raise HR,
increase stress hormone levels, disrupt healthy sleep, reassignment of an MOS, embarrassment,
frustration, withdrawl
what are a few purposes of the hearing conservation program? (HCP)? - Answer-prevent NIHL, maintain
combat readiness, reduce cost of hearing loss
what are engineering noise controls? - Answer-primary means to reduce or control noise; dampen;
enclose and or isolate noise
-- use HPD's only after engineering controls prove unfeasible
what are administrative controls? - Answer-policies and procedures implemented to reduce noise
exposure such as shift rotation
,what is the purpose of audiometric monitoring? - Answer-conduct routine hearing tests to identify
significant changes due to noise exposure
who is a DD2215 required for? - Answer-for all military and all DOD civilians exposed to hazardous noise
is NIHL bloodless and painless? - Answer-yes
what does HPD's stand for? and what do they do? - Answer-hearing protection devices
they lower workday exposure below 85 dBA and 140 dBP while wearing the hearing protection and/or
administrative controls

what shift signifies a STS? - Answer-10dBA shift
what does OHC stand for? - Answer-occupational hearing conservationist
what are the rules of CAOHC? - Answer-provide consistent training for OHC, course directors, and
professional supervisors
promote the establishment of best practices in HCP
, what are the components of the army hearing program? - Answer-1. hearing readiness
2. clinical hearing services
3. Operational hearing services
4. Hearing Conservation
what are the four P's of hearing loss? - Answer-Painless
Progressive
Permanent
Preventable
what is sound? - Answer-any pressure change in air, water or other medium
informal def - perception resulting from the stimulation of the auditory mechanism
what is noise? - Answer-any unwanted sound that is irritating or interferes with an activity
varies from person to person
what are the requirements for sound propagation? - Answer-sender (the source)
vibrating body
medium - what carries the vibration
receiver
