One of these important tests is audiometry
What is an audiogram?
An audiogram is a crucial diagnostic tool for assessing an individual’s hearing ability. It is a graphical representation of how well a person can hear sounds at different frequencies and volumes. Audiogram testing is performed using an audiometer, where employees listen to a series of tones at varying pitches and loudness levels through headphones. The results help determine if there is any hearing loss and to what extent it may be occurring.
This test is crucial for employees who work in environments with high noise exposure, such as construction sites, manufacturing plants, and industrial settings. Regular audiogram testing ensures early detection of hearing loss, allowing employers to take proactive measures to protect their workforce.
