The goal of Hearing Conservation (HC) CORRECT ANSWERS is to prevent
occupational hearing loss and assure auditory fitness for duty of all Navy personnel. It is
incumbent upon leadership to set the right example in their personal protective
practices, to enforce compliance, and to ensure that the Hearing Conservation Program
receives their full support
Noise-induced hearing loss CORRECT ANSWERS is the most prevalent occupational
health hazard in the military
Noise-induced hearing loss is often CORRECT ANSWERS underrated, as there are no
visible signs of injury.
Good hearing is priceless CORRECT ANSWERS it is probably the most important
sensory system. As Helen Keller stated, "Bindness separates you from things, and
deafness separates you from people."
Noise-induced hearing loss is CORRECT ANSWERS permanent
Off duty noise hazards also cause CORRECT ANSWERS hearing loss, such as lawn
equipment, power tools, loud music, target shooting, and car races.
Noise typically causes CORRECT ANSWERS gradual, progressive high frequency
hearing loss (loss of hearing in the high pitches of sound), but in some instances, it can
cause immediate hearing loss. Impulse noise from weapon fire or explosions can cause
immediate, permanent and irreversible trauma to the ear.
Excessive unprotected noise exposure leads CORRECT ANSWERS to a progressive
loss of communication ability and difficulty understanding conversation, especially when
there is background noise.
Hearing loss is compounded by CORRECT ANSWERS the combination of noise effects
and the aging process.
Noise, in combination with certain CORRECT ANSWERS chemicals or solvents, can
work synergistically to cause permanent damage to the ear and hearing.
common side effect of hearing loss CORRECT ANSWERS A constant tinnitus, or
ringing sensation in the ear or head
It can be permanent, mild to severe, and possibly disruptive to daily life.
, Hearing aids may help CORRECT ANSWERS but will never restore normal hearing
ability.
Hearing loss can affect CORRECT ANSWERS job performance, leading to decreased
productivity and increased accidents. It can also cause serious or fatal mistakes during
training or combat situations.
Nosie-induced hearing loss leads to CORRECT ANSWERS isolation and withdrawal
from social situations due to repeated embarrassment from misunderstanding
conversations. It causes distance in relationships with loved ones due to the continual
increased effort involved in communicating.
Prolonged exposure to hazardous noise can lead to CORRECT ANSWERS elevated
blood pressure, stress-related diseases, sleep disturbance, gastrointestinal changes,
disruption of attention or concentration, fatigue, tension, nervousness, anxiety and
hostility.
Purpose of the Navy Hearing Conservation Program: CORRECT ANSWERS promote
healthy hearing, prevent occupationally related noise-induced hearing loss, maintain
good hearing for operational readiness, and reduce hearing loss compensation claims.
Hearing conservation is the process of CORRECT ANSWERS protecting your hearing
from potentially damaging levels of hazardous noise. Protecting your hearing from
noise-related trauma or injury is not only a military requirement, it is simply the wise
thing to do.
Occupational and non-occupational noise can CORRECT ANSWERS cause hearing
loss, so it is important to protect your hearing both on and off the job.
Good hearing is essential: CORRECT ANSWERS For combat readiness
In maintaining medical fitness for duty
For controlling/reducing hearing loss compensation costs
For some military and civilian job specialties which require that certain levels of hearing
be maintained
For good quality of life
There are 5 elements to the program and implementation of these elements is
accomplished by several members of the hearing conservation team and includes:
CORRECT ANSWERS industrial hygienists, engineers, hearing conservation
technicians, audiologists, occupational health nurses, physicians, safety officers,
supervisors, and noise-exposed personnel.
