<question>
An employee working in the rail yard was exposed to a loud noise from a malfunctioning piece of equipment. The employee later had a hearing test which showed a Standard Threshold Shift (STS) of 15 decibels in one ear, and the employee's total hearing level was 27 decibels above audiometric zero in the same ear. Is this considered occupational hearing loss and therefore reportable?
