HearTrak Software: Professional Version

HearTrak has tracked the hearing data of several million workers with tens of millions of hearing tests since 1984. It is an easy to use, yet comprehensive, data management system designed specifically for hearing conservation professionals. Building upon the widely acclaimed DOS version, the audiometric analysis feature in HearTrak performs a series of evaluations automatically and instantaneously, executing the following routines:

• Audiometric data validation
• OSHA 10-dB STS calculations
• OSHA 2003 and MSHA Recordable Hearing Loss calculations
• Baseline adjustment for confirmed threshold shifts
• Baseline adjustment for confirmed “improved” hearing
• NIOSH STS (15-dB Twice) calculations
• Medical referral recommendations based upon AAO-HNS criteria
• Hearing impairments based upon various state formulae

The HearTrak system evolved over many years to become a complete and comprehensive hearing conservation data management system. It can be used to track as little information as necessary (only the employee and hearing tests have to be entered) or as complete as the user requires (comprehensive medical histories – initial and annual, non-occupational noise histories, training, noise exposures, otoscopic examinations, work history, hearing protector use, and chemical exposures that may be ototoxic).

HearTrak is designed to run on a PC with the databases located on the PC or a Local Area Network (LAN).

The user can set HearTrak to work with a microprocessor audiometer or for manual entry of data.

• Professional Reporting System
• Quickly review results, sorting data by any of a number of factors, such as recordables, imminent recordables, referrals, noise notches, etc.
• Compare ANSI age-adjusted standards to the entire database or to individual employees to help identify relationships to noise exposure
• Create watch lists of employees at higher risk of a recordable in order to help prevent that recordable from taking place
• Print from a long list of over 60 reports and labels, meeting the needs of many different types of users
• Identify a short list of “Preferred Reports”, commonly used, which can all be printed in a batch mode, permitting efficient reporting of data after periodic testing is complete
• Print to a standard printer or a PDF file for “electronic reporting” and distribution of reports through email or CD
• Batch print employee notification letters, individual reports, or questionnaires
• Custom filter most reports to meet special needs
• For multi-location (client) situations, combine all locations into one report. Special summary reports will also permit rank ordering the locations from worst to best (i.e. STS or recordable rates), permitting targeting of those locations needing assistance with their hearing conservation program
• Print a variety of 10 year summaries to identify the progress of the hearing conservation efforts
• Print unique analysis reports to help identify variability of data and potential testing/audiometer problems
• Export data in ASCII or CSV format, for transferring data to other databases or custom reporting in third party programs such as Crystal Reports
• Export “sanitized data”, permitting data studies without releasing personal identifications
• Import data from custom formats and major commonly-used formats, eliminating costly and error-prone keypunching
