Industrial Hearing Tests and Protection

Prioritize Hearing Safety and Protection at the Workplace

Industrial Hearing Testing plays a significant role in the safety measures for industrial workers. Our clinic conducts extensive assessments that are meant to determine the impact on hearing ability due to exposure to noise at work. Then, we issue comprehensive reports indicating the degree of hearing loss, if any, offering suggestions concerning appropriate response actions like the provision of ear plugs or other types of ear protection devices among others within this industry.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) Symptoms

Symptoms of NIHL include:

Difficulty hearing speech
Ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus)
Muffled or distorted hearing
Increased sensitivity to loud sounds

It goes without saying that early detection of hearing loss is essential in our efforts to prevent further damage and implement effective interventions.

NIHL Causes

Industrial hearing loss is typically caused by prolonged exposure to loud noise levels exceeding 85 decibels (dB). Common sources of occupational noise include:

Machinery
Power tools including medical equipment
Heavy equipment
Industrial processes
Musical instruments

Additionally, exposure to ototoxic chemicals or traumatic noise events (such as explosions) can worsen hearing damage in industrial environments.

NIHL Diagnosis

Our Industrial Hearing Tests include a comprehensive evaluation of your hearing function. Using specialized equipment and following standardized protocols, we conduct audiometric testing to assess your hearing thresholds at different frequencies and determine the extent of hearing loss.

We also provide baseline audiograms for new employees and conduct regular monitoring to track changes in hearing status over time. Full examinations include earwax removal, assessment of middle ear status, and speech understanding in noisy conditions, as all may affect performance on the job.

Protection from NIHL

To lower the risk of occupational hearing loss, we offer personalized hearing protection solutions, tailored to your specific work environment and noise exposure levels. These may include:

Custom-fitted earplugs
Earmuffs
Noise-canceling headphones designed to attenuate harmful noise while allowing you to communicate effectively and maintain situational awareness

We also provide education and training on proper hearing protection usage and encourage regular hearing screenings to monitor your hearing health.
