(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, unless a physician or audiologist has determined that the loss is neither work-related nor aggravated by occupational noise exposure.
