This book was released on 1993 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the methods and procedures of audiometric monitoring as used in the United States Air Force (USAF) Hearing Conservation Program (HCP). These program elements are common to HCPs both in the other military services (U.S. Army and Navy) and in civilian industry. However, there are a multitude of variations in implementing these common elements of a HCP. The minimal requirement of monitoring audiometry is addressed in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Noise Standard, Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Chapter XVII, Part 1910.95, March 8, 1983.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine carried out a study mandated by Congress and sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide an assessment of several issues related to noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus associated with service in the Armed Forces since World War II. The resulting book, Noise and Military Service: Implications for Hearing Loss and Tinnitus, presents findings on the presence of hazardous noise in military settings, levels of noise exposure necessary to cause hearing loss or tinnitus, risk factors for noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus, the timing of the effects of noise exposure on hearing, and the adequacy of military hearing conservation programs and audiometric testing. The book stresses the importance of conducting hearing tests (audiograms) at the beginning and end of military service for all military personnel and recommends several steps aimed at improving the military services' prevention of and surveillance for hearing loss and tinnitus. The book also identifies research needs, emphasizing topics specifically related to military service.

Book excerpt: In the beginning--actually, we skip the beginning and start around the time of World War II. There were no hearing conservation programs in the militaryZ Aural rehabilitation remained the main focus until around 1950, when jet aircraft began to appear at airbases and on aircraft carriers. The surprising increase in level of jet engine noise stimulated studies that verified the threat of high levels of acoustic energy to human auditory and non-auditory function. Intensified efforts expanded this concern to include other military-unique noises and, eventually, conventional occupational noises. In 1947, 23 years prior to the Occupational Safety and Health Agency regulation of 1970, the first hearing conservation program was implemented in the Air Force. Few hearing conservation programs existed in industry. Many present industrial programs are modeled after this pioneering Air Force effort. Today, no total uniformity exists in the hearing conservation programs of the military branches. An effort is nearing completion to integrate these individual programs into a new Department of Defense Hearing Conservation Program. Initial implementation of this revolutionary program is expected during calendar year 1998.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force Regulation 160-3, 'Hazardous Noise Exposure, ' has as its purpose the establishment of a program to minimize the undesirable effects of noise on Air Force personnel. Specifically, the regulatory sections of AFR 160-3 require that the Medical Service: (1) identify, designate, and monitor areas where personnel are likely to be exposed to hazardous noise levels; (2) identify those who are routinely assigned tasks in these areas; (3) establish a baseline or reference audiogram for each of these individuals; (4) fit, issue, and supervise the use of protective equipment; (5) set up and carry out an audiometric monitoring program as a means of detecting threshold shifts in the hearing of those who have a reference audiogram; (6) set up and maintain an education program which supports the over-all hearing conservation goal; (7) accomplish Forms 1490 ('Hearing Conservation Data'), one copy of which is to be sent to the Central Repository, School of Aviation Medicine, USAF, Randolph Air Force Base, Texas. This report attempts to summarize and share some of the information gained from the first year's experience in handling and examining the Forms 1490, and in communicating with those personal responsible for their completion.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hearing threshold levels of noise-exposed U.S. Air Force military and civilian personnel are presented and compared to the general, noninstitutionalized U.S. population. The U.S. Air Force military personnel show better hearing than the U.S. Air Force civilians or the U.S. population. The Air Force civilians have hearing as good as or better than the U.S. population except at the higher audiometric frequencies in the 45-54-year age range. The relatively good hearing for noise-exposed U.S. Air Force personnel is attributed partly to the exercise of minimum hearing level entrance requirements. However, the existence of a comprehensive hearing conservation program since 1956 is probably the main contributor to the good hearing in spite of exposure to potentially hazardous noise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors used information on individuals demonstrating permanent threshold shifts contained in the United States Air Force Hearing Conservation Data Registry to evaluate the effectiveness of detailed follow-up audiometric examinations as part of the USAF Hearing conservation Program. Analysis yielded a relative risk of 1.00 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.97-1.03, which indicates a high probability that the true effect of these audiograms on the results of the next annual exam is minuscule, if not zero.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on using Audiometric Data Base Analysis (ADBA) to evaluate the effectiveness of the hearing conservation program (HCP) at eight Air Force Bases. The primary goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of the HCP for all eight bases combined. The secondary goal was determining which groups of personnel are experiencing the most variability in their hearing threshold levels (HTLs). The ADBA results revealed that the total group exhibited a program that was between marginal and unacceptable. Breaking the total group's audiometric data into smaller groups did not reveal a significantly different variability by group with the exception of gender. Females had significantly less variability in their mean HTLs when compared to males. The standard deviation of differences of HTLs measure did not give similar results to the other measures. The use of the standard deviation of difference of HTLs measure is not recommended for use under the present guidelines. An overall distribution of TWAs (time weighted averages) for the total group showed a fairly normal distribution with the 50th percentile at 85 dBA (A frequency-weighted sound pressure level). The 10th percentile is 77 dBA and 90th percentile is 94 dBA for the total population. (AN).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exposure to hazardous noise can have negative implications for both servicemember health and readiness. Moreover, in FY 2009, some of the most common impairments for veterans receiving Veterans Affairs (VA) disability benefits were hearing related, as annual payments for such conditions exceeded $1.1 billion. This report examined DoD efforts to prevent hearing loss, specifically: (1) how well the DoD and armed services identify and mitigate hazardous noise; (2) how well the military evaluates hearing conservation program performance; and (3) the status of DoD's Hearing Center of Excellence and the extent that DoD and VA are sharing information to inform this and other efforts. Includes recommend. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Download or read book Do Similar Exposure Groups (SEG) Differ from Air Force Base to Air Force Base? written by Miriam F. Escobar and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noise is a common hazard for the military. The Department of Defense has set an Occupational Exposure Limit for noise at 85 dBA. The Air Force manages exposures using similar exposure groups (SEGs) which are formed at each Air Force Base. The purpose of this study was to compare the noise levels in SEGs in two Air Force bases across distance and time, and to review the effectiveness of the Air Force Hearing Conservation Program over distance and time. The SEGs chosen were Combat Arms Training and Maintenance (CATM) at Moody Air Force Base and MacDill Air Force Base because of potential for high noise levels. Noise dosimetry was obtained for Moody Air Force Base at two separate reports at two separate times. For MacDill Air Force Base, noise dosimetry was obtained through a previously published thesis (Krusley, 2016). Individual time weighted averages were obtained for each individual belonging to the CATM SEGs. The time weighted average (8 hour TWA) was compared to the Occupational Exposure Limit. For comparison purposes, time weighted averages were averaged for all individuals per base per the time they were collected. Two of Moody Air Force Base's noise dosimetry results were compared to one of MacDill Air Force Base's results. Moody Air Force Base's 2017 average was 101.7 dBA. Moody Air Force Base's 2009 average was 102.3 dBA. MacDill Air Force Base's 2008 – 2009 average was 103.8 dBA. The range for noise dosimetry TWA results for Moody AFB in 2017 was 101.0-102.2 dBA. In 2009, the noise dosimetry TWA result range for Moody AFB was 101.6-103.0 dBA. MacDill AFB's noise dosimetry TWA range results was 99.5-108.9 dBA. These results show consistency in the Air Force's ability to perform workplace characterization based on processes performed and exposures. The Air Force is also consistent with program management of the hearing conservation program.
