AUDIOMETRIC TESTING & WORKPLACE HEARING
WHY CONDUCT WORKPLACE AUDIOMETRIC TESTING?
Hearing loss is one of the most common yet preventable workplace hazards, particularly in industries with high noise exposure. NorthStream Safety & Rehab offers comprehensive audiometric testing services to help businesses protect employee hearing, comply with occupational health regulations, and reduce workplace risks. Our services are designed to identify early signs of hearing impairment, implement effective noise management strategies, and ensure long-term employee well-being.
With our baseline and periodic hearing assessments, mobile testing capabilities, and hearing conservation programs, we make it easy for employers to meet regulatory requirements while fostering a safe and healthy work environment.
Regular audiometric testing is essential in industries where employees are exposed to high noise levels, such as construction, manufacturing, mining, and transportation. Unchecked exposure to workplace noise can lead to irreversible Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), impacting employee well-being and productivity.
PREVENT NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS (NIHL)
NIHL is a permanent and irreversible condition that occurs from prolonged exposure to excessive noise levels. Early detection through regular audiometric testing allows businesses to implement preventive measures such as:
- Providing hearing protection (earplugs, earmuffs, custom-molded devices)
- Enforcing safe noise exposure limits
- Implementing noise control strategies in high-risk environments
Employers that prioritize hearing protection programs can significantly reduce the risk of hearing loss among workers.
ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY STANDARDS
Industries operating in high-noise environments are required to comply with occupational health and safety regulations, including:
- Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) requirements
- Occupational Health & Safety Act (OHSA) regulations CSA Z107.6-16 Audiometric Testing Guidelines
- Industry-specific hearing conservation mandates
We help businesses stay compliant by providing testing, reporting, and documentation required by health and safety agencies.

Employees working in industries such as construction, mining, manufacturing, transportation, and emergency services face significant risks of long-term hearing damage. Regular audiometric testing and hearing conservation programs ensure that:
