PART 62--OCCUPATIONAL NOISE EXPOSURE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 62.175  Notification of results; reporting requirements.

    (a) The mine operator must, within 10 working days of receiving the 
results of an audiogram, or receiving the results of a follow-up 
evaluation required under Sec. 62.173 of this part, notify the miner in 
writing of:
    (1) The results and interpretation of the audiometric test, 
including any finding of a standard threshold shift or reportable 
hearing loss; and
    (2) The need and reasons for any further testing or evaluation, if 
applicable.
    (b) When evaluation of the audiogram shows that a miner has incurred 
a reportable hearing loss as defined in this part, the mine operator 
must report such loss to MSHA as a noise-induced hearing loss in 
accordance with part 50 of this title, unless a physician or audiologist 
has determined that the loss is neither work-related nor aggravated by 
occupational noise exposure.
