Audiometry
Starting from only £89.00
Employees exposed to loud noises in the workplace are at increased risk of hearing loss and more likely to develop conditions such as tinnitus. Compliance with The Control of Noise at Work Regulations (2005) means that regular audiometric assessments are essential to ensure that control measures are effective and health risks are minimised.
Our audiometry service is a combination of an assessment and visual examination of the ear. Upon completion of both these, results are communicated with the employer and a formal report is collated together with the results, alongside any advisories for the employee. These also compare against previous results if the employee has had an audiometry assessment conducted before.

What are the benefits of an audiometry assessment?
By having your employees complete an audiometry assessment, you as an employer are meeting legal obligations that comply with The Control of Noise at Work Regulations (2005) and are protecting your workforce that are at an increased risk due to the nature of their job role.
The assessment can also help identify and highlight any current control measures you have in place that are not working effectively. And of course, the assessment will help identify any early signs of work-related illnesses, so they can be addressed early and not cause any long-term damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
