Conclusion: We should remember NIHL is entirely preventable but once acquired it is irreversible. The haircells never grow back, they are unrecoverable. That is why we should take care today.

Statistics of NHIL claims Number of Claims for NIHL *most recent data available (2006) Claims in SA decreased from 370 in 1999 to 190 in 2002 Although the number of NIHL claims has been reduced, it does not mean that noise induced deafness has been reduced
Slide 19-

Statistics of NHIL claims NIHL Claims per Exposed Employees (2001/2) Number of claims per hundred thousand employees The highest number of claims are made by: Labourers and related workers, 33% Tradespersons and related workers, 30% Intermediate production & transport workers (plant or machine operators or transport drivers).
Slide 20-

Statistics of NHIL claims The average cost of workers compensation claims for NIHL in 2001/2 was calculated to be $6711. Therefore, for Australia, the direct cost of NIHL claims for 2001/2 is calculated to be $6711 x 4510 claims i.e. just over $30 million. This figure does not include Hearing Aid fittings

Prevention NIHL Noise Control and Hearing Loss Prevention Program Establishing a noise control policy and program Actions to reduce noise exposure eg. Noise insulation, ear protection Actions to monitor the health of employees eg, annual hearing screening programs noise control policy and program will enable a systematic approach to hearing conservation in a company eg purchasing policy on equipment noise levels, mandatory ear protection, training programs for employees
