DODI 6055.12 DoD Hearing Conservation Program [DAP Policy]
The instruction that provides guidance for the Hearing Conservation Program for the tri-services is the DoD Instruction 6055.12, "DoD Hearing Conservation Program". This instruction establishes policy, responsibilities, and procedures for the implementation of a comprehensive hearing conservation program, including requirements for risk assessment, hearing testing, training, and record keeping. It applies to all military personnel, civilian employees, and contractors exposed to hazardous noise in the tri-services (Army, Navy, and Air Force).
The purpose of a hearing conservation program is to prevent occupational hearing loss by identifying noise hazards in the workplace, providing appropriate hearing protection devices, training employees on proper use, conducting regular hearing screenings, and implementing noise control measures where possible. It aims to protect employees from the harmful effects of noise exposure and ensure compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.
People should wear a hearing protector if the noise or sound level at the workplace exceeds 85 decibels (A-weighted) or dBA. Hearing protectors reduce the noise exposure level and the risk of hearing loss. If hearing protection is required, then a complete hearing conservation program should be implemented.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to provide hearing protection when noise levels exceed 85 decibels over an 8-hour workday. Additionally, OSHA recommends a hearing conservation program when noise levels reach or exceed 85 decibels to protect employees from hearing loss.
First is factual, the second a joke.
The program that involved forest conservation and power generating plants was the TVA
No, an audiologist will fit as well as program your hearing aide.
