Audiometric Testing
It is mandated under most provincial legislation that all workers undergo testing when exposed to noise greater than 85 dBA Lex.
Workplaces with these levels of noise can result in hearing disabilities and impairment. Audiometric tests measure a patient’s ability to hear sounds, which helps determine if there is deterioration of a worker’s hearing due to loud noises or physical trauma at work.
Aceso Medical provides both Baseline and Periodic Audiometric Testing onsite and in our clinics across North America.
Onsite testing is done in our mobile units which are outfitted with industrial sound booths and constructed with acoustical insulation to ensure test privacy, accuracy, and quality. Our tests include a comprehensive review of all abnormal audiograms or standard threshold shifts.
