 * James Schrack – Decibullz 
    * Decibullz came about in 2012 as the brainchild of founder Kyle
      Kirkpatrick, who wanted a way to keep his earphones in his ears while
      doing all the extreme sports he loved to do while listening to music.
      Custom earphones existed, but they were expensive and quite a commitment.
      He got creating and developed a patented thermoplastic molding system that
      allowed users to shape a material quickly and easily to their individual
      ear, and remold and reshape as many times as needed at an affordable price
      point. Quickly the opportunity arose to utilize the same patented
      thermoplastic molding system to address a gap in the market of hearing
      protection. Today Decibullz has sold over a million molds into the
      marketplace providing an affordable, and accessible spin on custom molded
      earplugs and earpieces. All Decibullz products utilize the same Easy Shape
      molding system, where the molds are dropped into hot water, left to soften
      for about 5 minutes and then pressed into the user's ear for a comfortable
      and snug fit. This simple process can be repeated as many times as needed
      to achieve the most comfortable and protective fit. The standard NRR31
      earplugs come in 6 different colors and have an MSRP of $25.99. They are
      the number one hunting and shooting earplugs on Amazon for the past
      several years and are prevalent in the retail sporting goods industry,
      most big box retailers, and hundreds of independent retailers across the
      country and abroad. Decibullz has several products within the family that
      include Acoustic High Fidelity Fillers, Professional High Fidelity
      filters, Persecutive Shooting filters, and several Acoustic tube radio
      earpiece adapters. The whole goal of Decibullz is to make custom more
      accessible to the masses. We want to make it easy to do, affordable, and
      not such a burdensome process so that more people can experience the
      benefits of custom.

    * James Schrack is a Colorado native and relentless entrepreneur. He joined
      the Decibullz team in early 2019 and quickly grew the wholesale side of
      the blossoming business quickly. James thrives in a scrappy environment
      and loves to achieve things others see as impossible. His background is
      not in hearing protection, but rather in taking great new innovative
      products to market and he quickly latched on to the Decibullz team and
      vision. He continues to love the atmosphere and really believes in the
      direction and technology Decibullz has to offer and believes it has a
      unique fit into the marketplace.

 * Andy Wetjen – Protective Industrial Products (PIP)
    * PIP is a Head to Toe manufacturer of workplace safety PPE specializing in
      Hand Protection, Above-the-Neck PPE (eye, face, head, hearing), Protective
      Workwear, and Arc Flash & Electrical Safety. This section of the webinar
      will provide an overview of the wide-variety of basic hearing protection
      options discussing: variety and quality vs compliance fit, size options,
      compatibility with other PPE, and customizations (colors, logos).

TOPIC: BOOTHLESS AUDIOMETRY TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW AND UPDATES


THIS WEBINAR WAS RECORDED 

REGISTER NOW

When: September 15, 2022 2:00PM - 3:00PM EST

CEUs not available - No credits of any kind will be offered for viewing this
webinar.

Pricing:
$38 - CAOHC/NHCA members
$50 - Non-members

About the Webinar:

Over the past decade, several companies have worked to develop novel platforms
to enable hearing assessment outside of the sound booth, to improve
accessibility as well as efficiency. Effective solutions must include
capabilities to meet additional requirements for specialty populations and
markets, including foreign and domestic militaries as well as U.S. veterans.
Expanded awareness and knowledge of boothless technologies is needed to inform
and accelerate adoption and application of boothless audiometry to provide
hearing health services. However, it can be challenging to track technological
advancements in boothless audiometry products. This webinar will present an
overview of boothless audiometry technologies currently available to the hearing
conservation professional. Attendees will be provided overview presentations
from participating boothless audiometry representatives and how these specific
devices can be used for hearing conservation monitoring audiometry.

Presenters:

 * Laura Prigge is an Application Specialist with GSI. Laura received her
   Doctorate of Audiology degree from AT Still University. Laura’s 20+ years of
   experience includes providing manufacturing support for a leading hearing aid
   manufacturer as well as technical audiology training and support for an
   international audiologic equipment company. Prior to that, she managed
   education and training at another hearing aid manufacturer and conducted
   audiologic evaluations on children, adults, and geriatric patients at a
   retail hearing center. 

The Automated Method for Testing Auditory Sensitivity, or AMTAS (Grason-Stadler,
Inc. [GSI]), is a software program that functions with a GSI audiometer or as a
stand-alone system using a tablet (see Figure 2). AMTAS allows a patient to take
a self-directed hearing test. The AMTAS diagnostic and screening procedure uses
patented test methods and accuracy algorithms researched, developed,
implemented, and validated over 10 years.

 * James (Jesse) A. Norris, Ph.D., has a background in biomedical engineering
   and applied research. Within auditory science, he has studied relationships
   between attenuation and comfort for custom earplugs; developed algorithms and
   hardware to support otoacoustic emissions research; and designed and built

   focused on transitioning hearing related technologies from research into
   products. He has helped Edare develop a production-ready quality system,
   register with the FDA, and oversees product development, manufacturing, and
   support.

The Wireless Automated Hearing Test System, or WAHTS, (Edare) was developed to
increase access to hearing health care by eliminating the need for soundproof
booth and highly trained personnel (Meinke et al., 2017). The Edare WAHTS device
is an FDA-approved device for clinical application. The WAHTS system includes
multiple test options, including manual audiometry, manual or automated
screening, speech-in-noise testing, and additional tests for research
initiatives.

 * Renée Lefrançois obtained her degree in Audiology from the University of
   Ottawa, Canada in 1999. The first fifteen years of her career focused on
   cochlear implantation; first as a clinician and then managing the Canadian
   arm of Advanced Bionics LLC. Renée has also been a seasonal lecturer at the
   University of Ottawa teaching both full courses and individual modules in
   Audiology. As a founding member of CanHEAR Uganda (2007), Renée delivered
   hearing health care services and training in several cities in Uganda. In
   2014, Renée joined the SHOEBOX Ltd. team as their Director of Audiology.
   Having obtained her CAOHC PS(A) certification in November 2018, she has spent
   the last several years focusing on occupational health and is currently
   managing the professional supervision and clinical review activities for many
   occupational health customers. Current areas of interest include occupational
   health, noise-induced hearing loss, teleaudiology, population health,
   ototoxicity, and the genetics of hearing loss.

The SHOEBOX audiometer (SHOEBOX, Ltd.) is the first portable, iPad-based
audiometer listed as a Class II device by both the U.S. FDA and Health Canada.
The SHOEBOX audiometer (see Figure 5) is calibrated to ANSI S3.6-2018 and meets
ANSI S3.1-1999 (R2018) for testing outside of a sound booth. It includes options
for both manual and automated testing and is designed to be used by audiologists
or other trained personnel. SHOEBOX has been clinically validated for use as a

TOPIC: DETERMINING WORK RELATEDNESS - EXPLORING THE GRAY AREAS
THIS WEBINAR WAS RECORDED

When: July 21, 2022 at 2:00pm ET

REGISTER HERE

About the Webinar: An important part of occupational safety, and of hearing
conservation, is record-keeping. One of the most important, yet often dreaded,
records is the OSHA 300 log, which records workplace injuries/ illness. OSHA’s
29 CFR 1904.5 on recordability tells us “You must consider an injury or illness
to be work-related if an event or exposure in the work environment either caused
or contributed to the resulting condition or significantly aggravated a
pre-existing injury or illness”. But multiple factors impact hearing, and
hearing monitoring as required by OSHA is non-diagnostic. Some cases may be
fairly clearly related, or clearly not related to workplace exposure. But what
about the gray areas?

In this webinar, a panel of experienced reviewers will describe OSHA’s standard,
and the 2011 NHCA Guidelines for Recording Hearing Loss on the OSHA 300 Log, a
set of recommendations on factors to consider in determining work relatedness.
The group will then review some sample cases from the “gray area”, where
work-relatedness is not so easily decided. We will close with attendees’
opinions on these cases, discussion of their own experiences, and any questions
they may have.

Presenters: 

 * Laura Kauth, MA, CCC-A, CPS/A has no relevant financial information to
   disclose. MS Kauth discloses her relevant non-financial relationship as a
   representative of NHCA as director of education.

 * Dr. Raúl A. Mirza has no relevant financial information to disclose. Dr.
   Mirza discloses his relevant non-financial relationship as chair of the
   Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC).

 * Dr. Mary M. McDaniels has no relevant financial or non-financial information
   to disclose. 







Learning Objectives: 

 * Describe OSHA’s basis for determining recordability.
 * Identify factors which should and should not be considered in determining
   work relatedness.
 * Apply this knowledge in assessing potentially recordable losses.

CEUs available:  1-hour CEU (AAA and 0.1 ASHA CEU)

No credits of any kind will be offered for viewing the recorded version of this
webinar.

TOPIC: EFFECTIVE HEARING CONSERVATION MESSAGING AND MOTIVATION


THIS WEBINAR WILL NOT BE RECORDED

When: May 19, 2022 at 2:00pm ET

About the Webinar: Regulations specify that workers in hearing conservation
programs must be trained and what content must be covered. However, there is
great latitude towards how training is done which offers the opportunity to
develop engaging and effective training. Hearing conservationists may strengthen
the educational impact on workers by incorporating adult learning principles and
considering a public health approach to shape workers’ knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors. This webinar will address the science and art of enhancing hearing
conservation training and education with the goal of motivating noise-exposed
workers toward better hearing health care. It will include some theory,
practical “ears-on” interactive techniques, and highlight the benefits of
hearing protector fit testing to help boost training effectiveness. 

Presenter: 
Lauraine (“Laurie”) Wells, Au.D. 

Presenter disclosure:
Lauraine ("Lauire") Wells, Au.D has no relevant financial information to
disclose. Ms. Wells discloses her relevant non-financial relationship as former
chair on the Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation
