Topic Summary:

Hearing Conservation… one of those topics that you may not work within very much, but then a new noisy exposure enters the workplace and you need to know your stuff! Attend our August meeting to kick off the 2025-26 program year and you’ll hear valuable insights from the head of ACGIH to get you ready for action.

Learning Objectives: After this session, attendees will be able to…

• Explain the anatomy and function of the ear, and how excessive noise damages hearing over time.
• Explain proper use and care of hearing protection devices (e.g., earplugs, earmuffs), including when and how to use them effectively. Also, how to determine if they are not working effectively.
• Describe the key components and best practices of a hearing conservation program, including noise monitoring, audiometric testing, training, and recordkeeping.
