1 Hearing assessment is an essential part of hearing conservation. Kevin Hedges Senior Principal Occupational Hygienist (Northern Region) 25 August 2009 Safety and Health is everyone s business.
2 Helen Keller Blindness cuts people off from things: deafness cuts people off from people.
3 Mines are noisy.
4
5 Persons most exposed to loud noise, for longer periods, are employed in the mining industry.
6 Exposure to loud noise can cause ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and if prolonged can result in hearing muffled quality to speech. It also results in the inability to hear high-pitched sounds.
7 According NIOSH (2006), an analysis of NIHL in 1,349 US coal miners revealed an alarming prevalence of severe hearing loss among older miners. The median hearing threshold of retired miners was 20 db greater than that of the general population. By age 60, more than 70% of miners had a hearing loss of more than 25 db, and about 25% had a hearing loss of more than 40 db. CDC Workplace Safety and Health IC 9492 Information Circular /2006 p.3. Source: (accessed 28 April 2008).
8 Benchmarking of Exposures in Selected Australian Workplaces carried out for the ASCC 2008 Based on the high levels of noise monitored especially in the underground mining, 15% who indicated that they suffered from ringing in the ear on a daily basis 4% indicated that suffered at least once a week. This demonstrates that hearing protection is either not worn, or not effective.
9 The Queensland Mining Health Improvement and Awareness Committee (HIAC) have ranked noise as the number one health hazard in Queensland mining.

21 Permanent hearing loss is preventable. It is therefore important, that ongoing health surveillance incorporates a measure to detect early hearing loss.
22 How to detect early hearing loss: US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has defined a standard threshold shift: A change in hearing threshold relative to the baseline audiogram of an average of 10 db or more at 2000, 3000, and 4000 in either ear.

24 Early Stages of Noise Induced Hearing Loss
25 Moderate Noise Induced Hearing Loss
26 Severe Noise Induced Hearing Loss
27 Simple approach to predict early hearing loss.
28 How can we show reduction of temporary hearing loss?

31 Noise exposure in mining is mainly controlled through the use hearing protectors including ear plugs and muffs.
32 If the type of hearing protector does not reduce the noise to an acceptable level nor is it fitted correctly, noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) will occur.
33 It is important that monitoring be carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of hearing conservation programs.
