Current Issues in Hearing Loss Prevention

Mr. Lee Hager, 3M Senior Account Manager – Hearing Conservation, Detection, & Peltor Communications, will provide a presentation on Hearing Loss Prevention followed by a demonstration of relevant instrumentation and technology. 

After 40 years of federal regulation, noise-exposed workers continue to lose hearing in “compliant” hearing conservation programs.  This presentation will address the issues that underlie this situation and will focus on new regulations, approaches, ototoxicity, and technologies designed and intended to improve hearing conservation program performance.

Mr. Lee Hager brings over 25 years experience to his position as Hearing Conservationist for 3M, including consultation with Fortune 50 companies on hearing conservation program effectiveness.  He has served as chair of the Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC), president of the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA), and chair of the Noise Committee and Fellow of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).  In his role with 3M, he provides technical support on hearing protection issues and hearing protector fit testing, training in hearing loss prevention, support for communication in noise via 3M Peltor technologies, and support for 3M Detection noise, heat stress, and environmental air quality monitoring.  He publishes regularly and presents internationally on noise and hearing issues, and is a certified occupational hearing conservationist (COHC).  Most of all, he cares about your ears.
