Comprehensive Hearing Evaluations
Hearing loss usually develops gradually over time, not all cases of hearing loss can be identified early enough to prevent serious damage. A comprehensive hearing evaluation provides not only diagnostic information on the severity of your hearing loss, but also crucial information for determining whether medical or surgical intervention is possible or whether hearing aids would be beneficial. In addition, strategies for enhancing communication and preventing hearing loss may be discussed.
A comprehensive hearing evaluation is a series of non-invasive tests carried out by an audiologist. These tests include otoscopy, pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, tympanometry, acoustic reflex threshold, otoacoustic emissions, auditory brainstem response and many others. Using the appropriate methods depends on the objective of the test, the age of the person and the work environment.
The first step in addressing hearing loss is to schedule a comprehensive hearing assessment, especially if you feel you may be experiencing signs of hearing loss, or your family and friends have encouraged you to check your hearing.
Industrial Hearing Screening
Long-term, repeated exposure to noise levels of 85 dB or greater can cause permanent hearing damage. Workers in occupations that involve frequent exposure to loud noises, such as manufacturing, construction, and entertainment, frequently experience this issue. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has made it mandatory for all employees who frequently work in environments with noise levels greater than 85 dB to undergo annual hearing tests.
Any size company can take advantage of our complete hearing conservation programs, which include hearing screening, management training, and employee education geared toward ensuring everyones safety on industrial sites.

Newborn Hearing Screening
One of the most prevalent birth defects is significant permanent hearing loss. According to reports on hearing loss from around the world, intensive care babies have a greater chance of developing hearing loss than live born well babies.
Hearing loss may not be noticeable in the first few weeks of life. Speech and language development is most important during the first three years of life, and this is unlikely to happen without adequate hearing. Hearing screening is the first step to detecting and diagnosing hearing loss in babies. The key to effective early intervention and support for kids and their families is early detection of a hearing loss.
A baby hearing can be screened as early as six hours after birth. A hearing screening is a non-invasive procedure, and babies typically remain asleep during it.
