When it comes to safeguarding the hearing of individuals routinely exposed to hazardous noise levels, the DD Form 2216, titled "Hearing Conservation Data," plays a crucial role. Governed by the Privacy Act of 1974, this form meticulously records the outcomes of both periodic and follow-up audiometric testing. It serves a diverse group within the Department of Defense, supporting not just military personnel across various branches—such as the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps—but also civilians who find themselves in noise-hazardous environments. By detailing personal hearing protection measures and tracking any significant hearing threshold shifts, the DD Form 2216 ensures that appropriate follow-up actions can be initiated. Furthermore, it bridges the initial assessment, documented on a DD Form 2215 ("Reference Audiogram"), with any subsequent audiometric evaluations needed due to exposure or changes in hearing status. In essence, this form is a vital component of a comprehensive hearing conservation program, aiming to mitigate the risk of hearing loss among those serving in or employed by the Department of Defense, making its correct and diligent completion a matter of both health and operational readiness.
