Description
This course delves into the mechanics of hearing and the potential risks associated with exposure to different sound levels. Participants will gain insights into how the ear processes sound waves and the anatomy involved in this process. The focus is on understanding the impact of noise intensity, measured in decibels, on hearing health, and the importance of adhering to permissible exposure limits to prevent hearing damage in the workplace. Participants will acquire knowledge about the intricate process of hearing, from the entry of sound waves into the outer ear to the conversion of vibrations into nerve impulses in the inner ear, fostering a deeper understanding of hearing loss mechanisms. Participants will gain proficiency in interpreting sound levels measured in decibels, recognizing the logarithmic nature of the scale, and understanding the permissible exposure limits (PEL) set by OSHA to prevent hearing damage in various workplace scenarios. Participants will learn how to apply the knowledge of sound intensity, duration, and PEL to real-world scenarios, enabling them to make informed decisions on hearing protection measures and promoting a safer working environment.
