Hearing screening (quick hearing test) and hearing assessments (thorough hearing tests with examination, history and recommendations) are vital for the health and wellbeing of your employees. A clear hearing conservation programme will not only benefit your employees but will help companies comply with OSH laws.
Here are some common questions:
- How long does it take?
- Screening takes around ten minutes, a full assessment takes thirty minutes
- Can it be performed onsite?
- Yes. As long as there is a very quiet room available all assessments can be performed onsite to minimise disruption.
- How much does it cost?
- Depending on the number of people to see (more people – smaller charge):
- Screening prices – from $25 per person
- Full Assessments prices – from $65
- Who does the assessment?
- Only I will do any assessment, from history taking to audiometry to final reporting
- What makes you qualified to do this?
- I have been an audiologist for over 25 years
- I have performed over 20,000 medico-legal assessments in the UK for the War Pensions Agency, Inland Revenue, many Blue-Chip companies and private practice
- What standards to you test to?
- AS/NZS 1269-4:2005 for Noise Management
- ISO 8253-1:1989 for clinical audiological assessments which exceeds the recommended ISO 6189:1983
I believe that audiometry and custom ear defenders should be affordable to everyone. It is for that simple reason you will find my prices by far the lowest in New Zealand, my experience the most extensive of anyone else in New Zealand and my service unsurpassable.
