The primary purpose of occupational health hearing tests is to detect early signs of hearing loss among employees. Assured Hearing can monitor employees’ hearing over time, it becomes possible to identify any changes in hearing ability and take appropriate actions to prevent further damage.
Audiometric testing typically involves the use of specialized equipment, at Assured Hearing, we use the Kuduwave. This device produces specific tones at different frequencies and volumes, and the employee indicates when they can hear each tone. The results are plotted on an audiogram, which provides a visual representation of an individual’s hearing thresholds at various frequencies.
The results of occupational health hearing tests are treated with confidentiality, adhering to privacy regulations and ethical standards. Individual results are not shared without the employee’s consent.
Our hearing tests usually begin with a baseline test, which establishes an individual’s hearing status. Subsequently, periodic tests are conducted at regular intervals to monitor any changes in hearing thresholds.
Our hearing tests at Assured Hearing are conducted in a controlled environment, to minimize background noise and ensure accurate results. Our testing area meets the required standards for ambient noise levels.
Annual hearing tests are conducted for employees exposed to noise levels at or above the permissible limits. COMMUNICATION OF RESULTS After conducting the hearing tests, employees will receive individualized results and explanations of their hearing thresholds. If any hearing loss is detected, employees are provided with appropriate guidance, education, and referrals to further evaluation if necessary.
