Audiometry Screening, Workplace Noise and Health Testing

Hearing and Healthcare Ltd provides audiometry testing and risk assessments for noise in the workplace throughout the United Kingdom. We offer screening for any number of employees; we typically screen 50 employees per day at a fixed nationwide all-inclusive rate. Call us now on 01625 433108 for an informal discussion of your requirements.

Hearing and Healthcare Ltd was founded in 1986. We currently screen over 15000 employees at over 350 companies each year in one of our air-conditioned mobile hearing test units.

Screening audiometry is a regularly undertaken hearing test at the workplace. It checks the effectiveness of the noise control measures undertaken by the company. In April 2006, screening audiometry became mandatory at intervals of 3 years (sometimes more often) for all UK employees exposed to levels of 85dB(A) on a daily basis. This follows implementation of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.

The test result, a pure-tone audiogram, is a highly repeatable exact reading of the hearing thresholds by frequency, categorised to the new (2005) HSE recommended guideline. We administer a questionnaire and visually inspect the ears. Hearing tests are carried out during working hours, with minimal disruption, in a professional manner and at a competitive, all-inclusive rate.

In addition we can provide spirometry screening (lung function tests).

In many cases we cost-efficiently combine audiometry with a Risk Assessment for Noise, another new requirement under the 2005 Regulations.
