  • Many of our members are active in the National Hearing Conservation Association, which is an allied professional group.
  • The noise committee nominates an individual to represent the committee at the Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation. In addition, many of our members are active in this organization.
  • The noise committee also sends a representative to NIOSH’s National Occupation Research Agenda for Hearing Loss Prevention.

Group Dynamics

The noise committee consists of individuals from various professional backgrounds with experience ranging from current students to members that have been active in the field for over 30 years. We offer a forum for members to discuss relevant topics regarding noise exposure, including data collection, sampling strategy, statistical analysis, and other topics; hearing loss prevention strategies, including the implementation of engineering controls, the administration of a hearing loss prevention program, and strategies for ensuring workers can enjoy their hearing through their lifetime.
