Hearing Conservation

Transcript: When sound waves enter the outer ear, the vibrations impact the ear drum and are transmitted to the middle and inner ear. In the middle ear three small bones called the malleus (or hammer), the incus (or anvil), and the stapes (or stirrup) amplify and transmit the vibrations generated by the sound to the inner ear. The inner ear contains a snail-like structure called the cochlea which is filled with fluid and lined with cells with very fine hairs. These microscopic hairs move with the vibrations and convert the sound waves into nerve impulses–the result is the sound we hear. Exposure to loud noise can destroy these hair cells and cause hearing loss! Hearing Conservation You hear ringing or humming in your ears when you leave work. You have to shout to be heard by a coworker an arm's length away. You experience temporary hearing loss when leaving work. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has recommended that all worker exposures to noise should be controlled below a level equivalent to 85 dBA for eight hours to minimize occupational noise induced hearing loss. NIOSH has found that significant noise-induced hearing loss occurs at the exposure levels equivalent to the OSHA PEL based on updated information obtained from literature reviews. NIOSH also recommends a 3 dBA exchange rate so that every increase by 3 dBA doubles the amount of the noise and halves the recommended amount of exposure time. In 1981, OSHA implemented new requirements to protect all workers in general industry for employers to implement a Hearing Conservation Program where workers are exposed to a time weighted average noise level of 85 dBA or higher over an 8 hour work shift. Do I always protect my hearing? Operating noisy machines during shifts when fewer people are exposed. Limiting the amount of time a person spends at a noise source. Providing quiet areas where workers can gain relief from hazardous noise sources Restricting worker presence to a suitable distance away from noisy equipment. In open space, for every doubling of the distance between the source of noise and the worker, the noise is decreased by 6 dBA. Why are loud noises a problem? All I Blow is Loud Hearing Conservation How do ears work? Measurement 29 CFR 1910.95 Choose low-noise tools and machinery Maintain and lubricate machinery and equipment Place a barrier between the noise source and employee Enclose or isolate the noise source Protection Too Loud? Exposure to high levels of noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Neither surgery nor a hearing aid can help correct this type of hearing loss. Short term exposure to loud noise can also cause a temporary change in hearing (your ears may feel stuffed up) or a ringing in your ears (tinnitus). These short-term problems may go away within a few minutes or hours after leaving the noisy area. However, repeated exposures to loud noise can lead to permanent tinnitus and/or hearing loss. Hearing Protection Devices OF COURSE! Hearing protection devices (HPDs), such as earmuffs and plugs, are considered an acceptable but less desirable option to control exposures to noise and are generally used during the time necessary to implement engineering or administrative controls, when such controls are not feasible, or when worker's hearing tests indicate significant hearing damage. OSHA OSHA sets legal limits on noise exposure in the workplace. These limits are based on a worker's time weighted average over an 8 hour day. With noise, OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 90 dBA for all workers for an 8 hour day. The OSHA standard uses a 5 dBA exchange rate. This means that when the noise level is increased by 5 dBA, the amount of time a person can be exposed to a certain noise level to receive the same dose is cut in half. Limits Administrative controls Engineering Controls Noise is measured in units of sound pressure levels called decibels, named after Alexander Graham Bell, using A-weighted sound levels (dBA). The A-weighted sound levels closely match the perception of loudness by the human ear. Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale which means that a small change in the number of decibels results in a huge change in the amount of noise and the potential damage to a person's hearing. Noise may be a problem in your workplace if: As a rule of thumb, the OSHA procedure of computing the dual protection by adding 5 dB to the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of the more protective of the two devices is a reasonable approximation.

Cochlea Sudden loud noises Long sustained sounds High pitched noise HEARING CONSERVATION Monitoring Diminished sensitivity to sound and detection at normal volumes Audiometric Testing Prevention Questions?... Hearing Protection can reduce damage Hearing Protection only works if it is worn and worn properly Know when to wear Hearing Protection Where does hearing loss Engineering Controls Ruptured eardrum Loud blasts of noise, sudden changes in pressure, poking your eardrum with an object, and infection can cause your eardrum to rupture and affect your hearing. Isolating noisy equipment Barriers between equipment and workers. Insulating equipment or machinery Change to quieter tooling There are 3 types 1. Sensorineural - Viral infections (measles), blow to the head, loud noises 2. Conductive - Less common, due to obstruction, and infection 3. Mixed- combination of Sensionerual and Conductive Noise Hazards Temporary Hearing Loss - Results from short term exposure to noise -Hearing returns when away from the noise What happens? Noise Dosimeters Personal Noise Indicators Monitors employees hearing over time Baseline audiogram used from first test going forward Annual audiograms required for specific positions Testing is paid by the employer Tests are retained (30 years) Acute Examples: Earplugs - different Noise Reduction Ratings. Can reduce decibels up to 35 dB. Earmuffs - Same reduction, different style for user Hearing loss is permanent Most tests showed <80 decibels TWA

Hearing Conservation

Transcript: Noise is: Sound without information Randomly variable Constant Unpleasant Unnecessary Unwanted Noise can be any of these, or all of these, depending on a person’s perception. Contribute to hearing loss Interfere with communication Annoy or distract Alter performance of tasks Cause irritability, anxiety, stress High blood pressure and elevated pulse rate Can Be Temporary – After a loud concert, usually recovers, varies with age and health Permanent – Hearing gradually decreases, does not recover Initial hearing loss typically starts at the 4000 Hz range Hearing becomes “muffled” Cannot be measured “directly” by checking for damage Hearing tests (audiograms) measure an individuals ability to hear various frequencies The next two slides show a normal hearing chart and a hearing loss chart Right ear = 0 Left ear = X Notice how the chart drops significantly at the 4000 Hz range on the second chart OSHA requires employers to provide hearing protection for employees to use when the average noise levels reach 85 dB in an 8 hour workday. OSHA requires hearing protection to be worn when average noise levels reach 90 dB or higher in an 8 hour workday. Ear plugs and ear muffs are rated for noise reduction, called Noise Reduction Rating or NRR (measured in decibels or dB) 28 dB NRR actually provides 10.5 dB of protection, so; (After using an equation specifically for NRR) 90 dB of noise – 28 dB NRR does not equal 62 dB of actual noise exposure Actual protection is 90 dB – 10.5 dB does equal 79.5 dB of actual noise exposure (For informational purposes only) Advantages: less attenuation variability among users designed so that one size fits most head sizes easily seen at a distance to assist in the monitoring of their use not easily misplaced or lost may be worn with minor ear infections Disadvantages: less portable and heavier more inconvenient for use with other personal protective equipment. more uncomfortable in hot, humid work areas more inconvenient for use in confined work areas may interfere with the wearing of safety or prescription glasses: wearing glasses results in breaking the seal between the ear muff and the skin and results in decreased hearing protection. Advantages: small and easily carried convenient to use with other personal protection equipment (can be worn with ear muffs) more comfortable for long-term wear in hot, humid work areas convenient for use in confined work areas Disadvantages: requires more time to fit more difficult to insert and remove require good hygiene practices may irritate the ear canal easily misplaced more difficult to see and monitor usage Hearing protection does not reduce noise exposure when worn incorrectly Proper fitting techniques are explained in the following video Loud noise is one of the leading causes of hearing loss. But some simple steps can help reduce your risk. Turn down the volume. Keep your iPod or mp3 player at about 60 percent of maximum volume and don't listen for more than an hour at a time. Also turn down your cell phone headset. Switch out ear buds for headphones that cancel out background noise so you can keep the volume low. If you're mowing the lawn, working with power tools, or going to a concert, wear foam or custom-molded ear plugs. And see your doctor or an audiologist for regular hearing tests. I hadn’t really noticed that I had a hearing problem. I just thought most people had given up on speaking clearly.

Great with students, workers, family, etc. For example: With games like Jeopardy and Family Feud, players can pick practically any answers. The person who is running the game will have to have all of the answers in order to determine if players are correct or not. However, with a game like Who Wants to be a Millionaire, the players only have a choice between answers, A, B, C, or D. Therefore, when the player decides their answer, the person running the game clicks it, and the game will tell them whether they are right or wrong.
