Why It Matters More Than Ever

When it comes to protecting your workforce, hearing health is often overlooked—until it’s too late. For many industries, particularly those involving heavy machinery, loud tools, or constant background noise, regular audiometric testing should be a cornerstone of health and safety protocols.

What is Audiometric Testing?

Audiometric testing is a method of measuring a person’s ability to hear various sound frequencies. It helps identify early signs of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), which is often gradual and goes unnoticed until it becomes a serious problem. By detecting changes early, employers can take steps to reduce further damage and provide necessary interventions to ensure employees hearing is protected.

Why Audiometric Testing is Crucial for Businesses

• UK health and safety law requires employers to protect workers from exposure to harmful noise levels. Regular testing ensures your business stays compliant with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations.
• Hearing loss can impact not just communication, but also safety—particularly in environments where hearing alarms or instructions is critical. Protecting your employees’ hearing is a clear sign of valuing their wellbeing.
