(b) Provide the miner with the opportunity to select a hearing protector, or a different hearing protector if the miner has previously selected a hearing protector, from among those offered by the mine operator in accordance with § 62.160 of this part; and
(c) Review the effectiveness of any engineering and administrative controls to identify and correct any deficiencies.
