Industrial Hearing Screening

Working in a noisy industrial setting puts you at an increased risk of hearing loss, one of the most common consequences of prolonged exposure to loud noises. However, with the right hearing protection and regular monitoring, you can safeguard your hearing even in high-noise environments.

​

At Evear Hearing, we specialize in industrial hearing tests to help you maintain your auditory health. Here’s why these tests are essential and how our specialists can assist.

​

Who Needs Industrial Hearing Tests?

In Canada, workplace hearing protection is regulated by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS). These guidelines ensure workers in noisy environments receive adequate protection and regular hearing assessments.

​

Under CCOHS standards, employers must establish a hearing conservation program if noise levels in the workplace exceed 85 decibels (dBA) over an eight-hour workday. As part of these programs, employers must:

• Measure noise exposure levels.

• Inform employees of risks and protection protocols.

• Provide appropriate hearing protection and testing.

 

If you work in a setting where you frequently need to raise your voice to communicate at arm’s length, even if noise levels are below the regulated threshold, proactive hearing health monitoring is advisable. Regular hearing assessments can help detect early signs of hearing damage and guide necessary interventions.

​

At Evear Hearing, we provide comprehensive industrial hearing tests that meet CCOHS standards, ensuring your hearing health is protected throughout your career.

Industrial Hearing Conservation Programs

​

Industrial companies are legally required to offer hearing conservation programs for employees exposed to excessive noise levels. These programs often include:

• On-Site Hearing Evaluations: Many companies partner with third-party providers to conduct hearing tests at job sites.

• Result Analysis and Recommendations: Results are shared with employees, and recommendations for protective measures are provided.
