Comment and Questions

BL: 1 Nov 2002 = PLH 1.1
SC: 1 Feb 2004 = PLH 14.1
Shift from BL = 13

This is a periodic screening audiogram of a employee who has had a baseline audiogram performed before the cut off date of 16 November 2003. The shift from baseline is 14,1% - thus compensatable. This is a typical noise-induced hearing loss pattern. This employee should be sent for a diagnostic audiogram, and if it confirms noise-induced hearing loss reported to Inspectorate of Labour and Compensation Commissioner with noise-induced hearing loss.
