# §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 [§ 62.173](/cfr/30/62.173.md) 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](/cfr/30/part50.md), unless a physician or audiologist has determined that the loss is neither work-related nor aggravated by occupational noise exposure.
