E. Hearing technicians shall be trained for otoscopic examination and earplug fitting. F. The Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System - Hearing Conservation (DOEHRS-HC) is a Department of Defense (DoD) Military Health System (MHS) Information System (IS) that contains Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI). End users of the DOEHRS-HC system are required to complete annual Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) training and Information Assurance (IA) training. Joint Knowledge Online is the training system sanctioned by the Department of Defense (DoD) and is the official HIPAA training site for the DoD. DOEHRS-HC users must complete annual HIPAA training through https://jkodirect.jten.mil/Atlas2/faces/page/login/Login.seam and provide proof of certification upon request. G. DOEHRS-HC users must also complete the DoD CyberAwareness Challenge and provide proof of certification upon request. The DoD CyberAwareness Challenge fulfills the annual Information Assurance training requirement and is available through the following site https://ia.signal.army.mil/dodiaa/default.asp. 2. EQUIPMENT A. Hearing Conservation and Hearing Readiness testing will be completed using the approved DOEHRS-HC audiometer. The current version of the DOEHRS-HC software must be utilized. IAW AR 40-501, Chapter 11g.(1) "The Defense Occupational Environmental Hearing Readiness Application - Hearing Conservation (DOEHRS-HC) audiometer is the only authorized audiometer for conducting and recording DD Form 2215 (Reference Audiogram) and DD Form 2216 (Hearing conservation Data)." The current DoD approved DOEHRS-HC audiometer is the Benson CCA-200mini. B. An audiometer must have an annual, comprehensive electro-acoustical calibration to ensure it is functioning properly and IAW the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard S3.6. C.
