What is audiometric monitoring used for?

  1. Monitoring heart rates

  2. Preventing heat-related illnesses

  3. Detecting hearing loss

  4. Controlling hazardous exposures

The correct answer is: Detecting hearing loss

Audiometric monitoring is used to detect changes in hearing ability over time. This allows healthcare professionals to identify and monitor any potential hearing loss in individuals who are regularly exposed to hazardous noise levels. Option A, monitoring heart rates, is incorrect as audiometric monitoring specifically focuses on measuring and detecting changes in hearing ability, not heart rates. Option B, preventing heat-related illnesses, is incorrect as audiometric monitoring is not used for preventing heat-related illnesses. It is specifically used for detecting and monitoring hearing loss. Option D, controlling hazardous exposures, is incorrect as audiometric monitoring does not control hazardous exposures. It is used to monitor the effects of hazardous exposures, particularly on hearing ability.
