28
Q

what should be assigned to all potentially hazardous noise areas and operations

A

Risk Assessment Code (RAC)

29
Q

All personnel entering into the naval service shall receive what type of audiogram

A

baseline

30
Q

Hearing test done where shall not be used as a reference hearing test.

A

MEPS

31
Q

what is a STS

A

Significant Threshold Shift

32
Q

A change in hearing threshold relative to the current reference audiogram of an average of 10 dB or more in what Hz is considered a STS

A

2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz,

33
Q

The STS may be what

A

positive

or

negative

34
Q

a Positive STS means what

A

poorer hearing than the reference audiogram

35
Q

a Negative STS means what

A

better hearing than reference audiogram

36
Q

if there is a negative STS when should they retest

A

Retest the same day

37
Q

negative STS same day retest show no STS what should assumed

A

that the monitoring audiogram was in error

38
Q

negative STS same day retest still showed a negative STS what should be assumed monitoring audiogram was in error

A

Assume that the reference audiogram is

in error and Establish the retest as the new reference audiogram.

39
Q

if there is a positive STS when should they retest

A

Retest after a 14 hour noise free environment to determine if the decrease of hearing is permanent

40
Q

14 hour noise free environment may not be accomplished by what

A

use of hearing protection)

41
Q

who should be notified of a STS

A

supervisor

42
Q

If a positive STS retest does not indicate STS what should be done

A

Return to annual monitoring.

43
Q

if a positive STS first retest shows a STS at 3000Hz and below what should be done

A

Screen for any medical issues through otoscopy and tympanometry.

44
Q

otoscopy and tympanometry finding should be recorded where

A

SF 600

45
Q

can second retest be administered on the same day as the first retest.

A

yes

46
Q

if a second retest does not indicate a STS what should be done

A

Return to annual monitoring

47
Q

if a second retest does indicate a STS what should be done

A

evaluate hearing protection

forwarded results to audiologist or qualified physician for review and
disposition.

48
Q

if the results of a second positive STS are conclusive the results are used for what

A

create a re-established

reference audiogram

49
Q

Supervisors should be notified in writing within how many days of a positive STS

A

21 days

50
Q

Permanent Threshold Shift (PTS) toward poorer hearing. should ne reported to who

A

OSH office

51
Q

Permanent Threshold Shift (PTS) toward poorer hearing. should ne reported to the OSH on what form

A

OPNAV 5102/7 Log of Navy Injuries

and Occupational Illnesses).

52
Q

member is notified within how many days Permanent Threshold Shift (PTS) toward poorer hearing

A

21 days

53
Q

workers signatures on what will suffice as appropriate notice

A

DD 2216

54
Q

The physical exclusion period from noise is referred to as

A

auditory rest

55
Q

how many hour auditory rest is usually sufficient to allow a temporary STS return to pre exposure level

A

14

56
Q

what is the primary mean of noise abetment

A

engineering controls by means of engineering design

57
Q

what is the second means of noise abatement

A

administrative control by limiting time of exposure and enforcing safe stay time

58
Q

what are the other two abatement strategies in addition to engineering and administrative

A

Substitution of less noisy operations

Personal Hearing Protection Devices

59
Q

wat are the types of hearing protection devices

A

Ear plugs

Disposable

Single flange

Double flange

Triple flange

Straightaway muffs

Circumaural Muff

60
Q

when should personnel included in the hearing conservation program receive training

A

PRIOR to working in noise hazardous areas

Training shall also be conducted on an annual basis

61
Q

Non-disposable hearing protectors require what

A

sizing and fitting conducted by trained medical personnel

62
Q

Non-disposable hearing protectors require sizing and fitting will use Well-lighted visual inspection of the ear canal is necessary to determine

A

any condition is present that would make use of ear plug inadvisable
