Type of the services
This is a very special testing for the employees who are exposed to high noise levels. As we all know it the employees are exposed to high noise levels, for a long period of time while working they might end up with temporary or permanent hearing losses.
The permanent hearing cannot be treated or cured. Therefore it is a responsibility of all employers to carry out annual audio-metric examinations for the employees whom exposed to loud noise levels.
NIOSH provides a special and individual report for all employees assessing there hearing levels based on the audio-metric testing.
If the noise levels are very high in the respective areas in the industry
- Audiograph will be drawn and provided individually
