Keep Your Team Protected in Noisy Workplaces
Your employees’ safety is your top priority, especially in busy and loud environments where the risk of hearing damage is real and lasting. Regular hearing testing is not just a best practice. It’s a critical part of maintaining a safe, compliant, and productive workplace.
According to OSHA, if your workplace noise exposure reaches or exceeds 85 dB during an eight‑hour shift, you are required to implement audiometric testing, provide hearing protection, and maintain a comprehensive hearing conservation program.
You benefit from proactive hearing testing because it keeps your team safe, upholds your legal obligations, and helps prevent costly fines, lawsuits, and workers’ compensation claims related to noise-induced hearing loss.
When you invest in ongoing employee hearing care, you reinforce your commitment to workplace safety and operational excellence.
Why Regular Employee Hearing Testing Matters
Long-term noise exposure puts your workforce at risk of permanent, but entirely preventable, hearing loss.
By prioritizing hearing assessments for your team, you:
Avoid noncompliance issues and regulatory penalties
Safeguard productivity and reduce accidents stemming from undetected hearing loss
Minimize legal risks and costly claims
Foster a supportive, compliant, and high-performing workplace culture
When you partner with us, you can rest easy knowing that your hearing conservation measures are up to standard and that your employees remain protected, both now and in the future.
What Your Employee Hearing Testing Includes
You deserve absolute clarity on where your investment goes.
Here’s what your comprehensive hearing testing package covers:
Medical History Review
Your employees complete targeted questionnaires to identify non-occupational risk factors that might affect hearing, ensuring accuracy and individualized assessment.
Otoscopic Examination
Each employee receives a visual ear examination to check for earwax buildup, infections, or abnormalities that could impact hearing or interfere with testing accuracy.
Pure-Tone Audiometry
This is the gold standard in hearing tests, performed at the specific frequencies relevant to workplace noise exposure. The process is fast and reliable, and it provides immediate insight into each employee's auditory health.
Immediate Counseling
Your employees receive on-the-spot, confidential guidance on their results, so you know right away if there are any concerns to address.
Follow-Up and Referral System
If a standard threshold shift (STS) or other concern is detected, you benefit from an established referral process. Employees are directed to their general practitioner or occupational health physician for further evaluation and care.
Fit Testing and Custom Hearing Protection
You can go beyond compliance with fit testing and custom ear protection options for your team. Properly fitted, high-quality hearing protection not only meets OSHA standards but also helps your employees stay comfortable and focused at work.
