Occupational Health
The primary purpose of occupational health hearing tests is to detect early signs of hearing loss among employees. VHS
can monitor employees’ hearing over time, it becomes possible to identify any changes in hearing ability and take
appropriate actions to prevent further damage.
BASELINE AND PERIODIC TESTING
Our hearing tests usually begin with a baseline test, which
establishes an individual’s hearing status. Subsequently,
periodic tests are conducted at regular intervals to
monitor any changes in hearing thresholds.
AUDIOMETRIC TESTING METHODS
Audiometric testing typically involves the use of
specialized equipment, at VHS, we use the Kuduwave. This
device produces specific tones at different frequencies
and volumes, and the employee indicates when they can
hear each tone. The results are plotted on an audiogram,
which provides a visual representation of an individual’s
hearing thresholds at various frequencies.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY
The results of occupational health hearing tests are
treated with confidentiality, adhering to privacy
regulations and ethical standards. Individual results are
not shared without the employee’s consent.
