In fact, there are some fairly high-noise environments where workers are exposed to dangerous levels of noise. \u003cbr\u003eWhile we're typically used to thinking of mining, power plants, and heavy vehicles as key environments, there are other jobs that can damage hearing as well. For example, if you operate a lawnmower, work in a nightclub, work on the ground at an airport, or even as a shooting ranger, you're exposing your ears to noise as high as 107 dB and as high as 140 dB.\u003cbr\u003e Since hearing loss occurs at around 85 dB, workplace hearing loss has proven to be the employer's responsibility. It's important to understand how it happens, the impact it has on workers, their outcomes, and what you can do about it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are several factors that impact hearing loss, and it's important to understand the differences, especially when it comes to workers' compensation claims.\u003cbr\u003e There are two main types of hearing loss:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e1.- Conductive loss and sensory hearing loss\u003cbr\u003e According to ASHA (American Speech-Language Hearing Association), conductive hearing loss \"occurs when sound is not efficiently conducted through the external ear canal to the eardrum and the ossicles of the middle ear.\" This type of hearing loss is not caused by noisy work environments, usually does not occur on the job, and can sometimes be medically corrected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2.-Loss of sensorineural hearing (included in the heading of sensorineural hearing loss),\u003cbr\u003e It can occur when the hair cells in the ear responsible for detecting hearing are damaged. This can happen in a noisy environment and lead to a workers' compensation claim.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBasically, noise-induced hearing loss can occur in two modes: permanent threshold shift (PTS) and temporary threshold shift (TTS).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e PTS is a long-term, permanent change (reduction) in hearing as a result of continued exposure to noise (such as in a noisy workplace).\u003cbr\u003e TTS occurs when an individual experiences a \"short burst\" of noise (such as a gunshot). PTS is permanent, whereas someone who suffers TTS may recover after a short period of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When dealing with a situation where PTS has occurred in the workplace, it is also important to determine whether the hearing loss is monaural or binaural.\u003cbr\u003e Monaural (also known as unilateral hearing loss (UHL) or single-sided deafness (SSD)), occurs when the worker has lost hearing on only one side. \u003cbr\u003eBinaural hearing loss refers to hearing loss in both ears. It's important to keep in mind that the result can affect the worker's quality of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What is the impact of hearing loss on employees?\u003cbr\u003e Hearing loss resulting from loud noise in the workplace is typically permanent and can have the following impacts on employees:\u003cbr\u003e Physical stress\u003cbr\u003e Psychological stress\u003cbr\u003e Impairs the ability to communicate\u003cbr\u003e It directly impacts Security\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hearing loss can affect how a person interacts with others. Whether it's communicating at work, interacting with friends or family, or enjoying a favorite activity, hearing loss can cause stress, frustration, and isolation among those affected.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStaffing isn't the only aspect you should be concerned about. Employees who experience hearing loss at work can directly impact your bottom line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e How does this affect your background?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you self-insure a portion of your workers' compensation, a reduction in hearing loss claims can directly impact your bottom line. According to AMAXX, hearing loss claims can be the most difficult to prove\/disprove due to the many variables involved. A more complex claim or a longer case resolution can result in dramatically higher costs. \u003cbr\u003eFor example, according to BusinessInsurance.com, the average claim costs $287 to close in 30 days. That cost nearly triples when the claim is open 31 to 90 days. When a claim takes between one and two years, the cost skyrockets to $19,888. These numbers add up for insurance providers and, in turn, employers.\u003cbr\u003e Part of the reason for the delays can be attributed to tracking down historical medical records. An employee's specific medical history—an audiogram, which shows the results of hearing tests over the employee's lifetime—can be difficult to locate, especially in an aging population. Delays here can cost thousands of dollars, impacting workers' compensation insurance costs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Can this be avoided?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here are three things you can do to help eliminate the risk of hearing loss for your employees and reduce workplace complaints and insurance costs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e1.-Have a hearing safety protection program that covers local, regional, state and federal noise assessments and appropriate HPDs (hearing protection devices) for the noise level in your workplace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2. Monitor your environment. According to OSHA, \"employees must be placed in a hearing conservation program if they are exposed to average noise levels of 85 dB or more during an 8-hour workday.\" There are several monitoring meters available to measure noise levels, from robust sound tools to iPhone apps. Keeping a constant eye (and ear) on noise levels can help you know if (and when) noise levels are too high.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e3. Update hearing equipment. There have been several recent advancements in hearing safety devices, including Bluetooth® safety earmuffs, intrinsically safe headsets, and various communication kits that support situational awareness that can protect workers' hearing while equipping them with the tools they need to stay safe and communicate.\u003cbr\u003e Noise-related hearing loss is preventable, and its financial impact on your bottom line through workers' compensation costs is real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By creating a hearing protection program, monitoring your environment, and having the most up-to-date hearing safety devices, you can minimize your exposure and reduce costs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAsk your sales representative about SYSCOM's new SENSEAR line, so you can take advantage of this solution to stay connected and protected in high-noise environments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp3.syscom.mx\/usuarios\/fotos\/SMISH\/SMISH_1.png\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HCpxZfv6tVw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cul\u003e Limit 'at-the-ear' noise exposure to 82 dB\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SENSEAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47318620274930,"sku":"SM1PHWISDP01","price":0.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/0770\/6098\/files\/SM1PHWISDP01-l.png?v=1740235071","url":"https:\/\/www.coltienda.co\/en\/products\/162402","provider":"Colombiatel Telecomunicaciones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
