How We Support You
Our comprehensive audiometry assessments are performed by our trained professionals using the latest equipment and methods that comply with the most recent standards and guidelines to ensure accurate results. At the beginning of the assessment, we obtain all relevant information from the employee regarding their medical history and exposure to noise. After performing the hearing test, any issues with the employee’s hearing are brought to the attention of the company management and a referral service is offered.
We also provide noise surveys to identify the source and level of noise in your workplace, including readings, findings, and a report on necessary actions and appropriate protection levels.
Additionally, we offer custom-made hearing protection for your employees, attending your site to take impressions and providing one set of earplugs per employee for ultimate hearing safety.

FAQ:

The frequency of testing will depend on the individual’s risk factors, workplace environment, and medical history. Typically, an initial hearing test is performed during the employee’s first year at the organisation to establish a baseline for their hearing. A comparative test should then be undertaken 12 months after. In case these tests don’t flag any issues, your testing schedule should reduce to one assessment every 2-3 years.
If hearing loss is detected, our professionals will provide advice and referrals to appropriate medical professionals or programmes to manage the condition. We can also provide custom-made hearing protection to prevent further damage.
