[Histonet] Hard of hearing, anyone?

[Jennifer MacDonald]

I believe OSHA has a standard regarding sound and hearing testing.

I agree entirely, but have never done a decibel reading.  Would be
interested in other replys, as my techs have recently been asking the
same question.  So much automation can hurt the ears:-)  Jen

Dear Histonetters, perplexed with what I am working with and wondering
if
anyone else is having this trouble.

With all the automated equipment in the labs, refrigerators,
centrifuges,
auto this and auto that, has anyone ever or routine performs a decibel
reading in a histology lab?

The reason I ask is that we have four ultramicrotones; a microwave, a
building lab vent a hood, two counter top vents and two venting hoods
which
vent two processers, 3 refrigerators and a cryostat in a square footage
of
20' x 25'. When someone walks in, I cannot hear a thing they are saying
to
me, I have to be right next to them and it is such a relief when I do
walk
out of the lab, so soothing to my ears, the quiet.

Teresa
