- All personnel who work in noise-hazardous areas need an annual hearing check.
- The first test serves as the reference, or baseline from which any future change in your hearing is measured.
- You will be notified for your annual hearing test. At that time, your hearing protective devices can also be checked and, if necessary, replaced.
- An audiogram is a picture of your hearing and reflects the softest tones you are able to hear at low, middle, and high frequencies.
- When loud noise makes your hearing worse, damage usually occurs first in the higher frequencies. Then nearby frequencies are affected.
