Wanted: Certification Course Feedback from OHCs

OHCs play an essential role in the fight against occupational hearing loss. Today, thousands of OHCs will:

• Administer hearing tests
• Educate and motivate both employees and employers about the hazards of excessive noise exposure
• Fit hearing protection
• Counsel employees

The quality of the hearing testing of the noise-exposed workforce rests in your hands. If employees aren't properly educated and motivated to wear hearing protection or if they wear it improperly, and are then overexposed to noise, many of them will incur noise-induced hearing loss. At your certification or recertification course, you learned the importance of your role on the hearing conservation team.

CAOHC is interested in receiving your thoughts about the adequacy of training you have received. Do you feel prepared to do your job? Was the course you took adequate to prepare you for your role as an OHC? Have you acquired other knowledge that you think all OHCs should have? How would you rate the material used in your course? Tell us about the instructors. Please give us feedback.

Please feel free to send us your thoughts or you may resubmit the course survey form that you previously completed at the course.
