Decreased Sound Tolerance Evaluation

DST evaluation

Prior to a DST evaluation, a complete audiological assessment will be administered. DST is also often accompanied by tinnitus and if this is the case, then a tinnitus assessment will also be completed.

DST requires careful questioning of behaviours and reactions to different sounds, sound patterns and sound sources to allow for differentiation between the types of DST. It is also possible for more than 1 type of DST to be present.

DST is measured by determining the Uncomfortable Loudness Level (UCL) for each ear at different frequencies. Low levels of tones are gradually increased in loudness until the individual indicates a level of discomfort. These levels are then recorded and the next sets of tones are presented. The individual is, at all times, in control of the loudness of the test tones and can stop them at any time.

As always, if a medical or potential malignant condition associated with DST is suspected, the individual will be referred to an otolaryngologist for further testing or treatment as necessary.

OAKRIDGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Median/Heritage Boulevard Work

Work on the median on Cambie Street has begun and resulted in Cambie Street being reduced to single lane heading southbound from 41^st to 45^th. This is expected to last until October.

In addition to the above, all southbound lanes on Cambie Street between 42^nd and 45^th will be closed temporarily from July 2^nd to 10^th. Traffic heading southbound will be directed to “cross over” to the east side of Cambie. Refer to the below image. During this period, the left turn into the parkade from Cambie northbound will be closed 24/7. Entrance into the parkade is only available via southbound on Cambie Street. When existing, customers will crossover to the east of Cambie Street and continue southbound.

Single Lane Alternating Access in/out of Parkade

In/out of the parkade will be single lane alternating access from July 2^nd to August 23^rd. Please note this work overlaps with the median crossover noted above.

TCP will be in place to manage traffic from:

6:30am to 9pm on Mon to Sat
9:00am to 7pm on Sundays

Important Note: Parkade will be closed outside of TCP hours. Tenant requiring access in/out of the parkade outside of the TCP hours must contact Security at 604-269-2103 at least fifteen (15) minutes prior so the barriers can be removed to facilitate safe entry/exit.

Due to all the above work, please add additional travel time.

Thank you for your accommodation and we apologise for the temporary inconvenience.
