Soundtrace published The Silent Liability, a financial risk analysis written for risk managers, CFOs, and occupational health directors. The paper quantifies the workers' compensation exposure building silently inside noise-exposed workforces, where claims can surface 10–15 years after exposure — often after the supporting records have been destroyed or lost in a vendor transition.
The analysis cites NIOSH's estimate of $1.1B+ in annual workers' comp hearing loss costs and an industry average of approximately $23,000 per claim settlement, and presents a longitudinal audiometric data strategy for liability containment that mirrors how mature programs treat injury and exposure records.
