• Description:
  The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has a mandate to conduct research on occupational safety and health. The research portfolio is organized by industrial sectors and cross-sectors for illnesses and injuries that are found in all sectors. The Hearing Loss Prevention research cross-sector council comprises representatives from government, labor organizations, academia, and industry representatives. The HLP council held several meetings throughout 2018 to determine research needs for occupational hearing loss prevention in the United States. Five topic areas were determined. (1) Provide input for policies and guidelines that will inform best practices for hearing loss-prevention efforts. (2) Develop effective, evidence-based education designed to improve hearing conservation program outcomes for exposed workers and management. (3) Develop, commercialize, and widely implement noise control solutions on jobsites in key industries. (4) Develop audiological tests for hearing loss prevention. (5) Improve occupational hearing loss surveillance. These topic areas will be discussed in detail to help motivate other researchers to join further our knowledge to prevent occupational hearing loss. [Description provided by NIOSH]
