What Is Audiometry Testing?
Audiometry testing is a hearing assessment used to measure an employee’s hearing ability across different sound frequencies (250 Hz to 8000 Hz). It establishes a baseline hearing level, detects early occupational hearing loss, and monitors changes in hearing over time as part of a Hearing Conservation Programme.
Who Needs Audiometry Testing?
Audiometry testing is required for employees exposed to excessive workplace noise above the permissible exposure limits under the Occupational Safety and Health (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019. It is commonly required for workers in manufacturing, construction, engineering, metal fabrication, automotive, airports, plantations and other industries where a Noise Risk Assessment identifies significant noise exposure.
