Hearing Testing

Protecting Hearing, Preserving Health
 

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is one of the most common and preventable occupational health issues in New Zealand. Our audiometry (hearing) testing service helps detect early signs of hearing changes and supports employers in protecting workers exposed to hazardous noise levels.

​

According to the Code of Practice for the Management of Noise in the Workplace, businesses must take action when workplace noise levels exceed 85 dB over an eight-hour average. As an employer, you have a legal responsibility to monitor and protect your employees’ hearing through regular testing and effective noise management practices.

A preliminary noise assessment should be carried out at least every five years, or sooner if there are significant changes to work processes, equipment, or the working environment. This helps ensure your workplace remains compliant and that employees’ hearing is safeguarded over time.

What’s Involved
 

We provide baseline (reference) and monitoring audiograms, using calibrated equipment in a controlled environment. Each test includes a brief noise exposure questionnaire and is performed in line with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, GRWM Regulations 2016, and the Approved Code of Practice for the Management of Noise in the Workplace 2002.

 

 

Professional, Mobile, and Compliant
 

All testing is carried out by trained professionals, with clear explanation of results and next steps. We offer mobile services and can conduct on-site testing to minimise disruption. Workers with abnormal results are referred for follow-up with their consent.

Supporting Safe, Compliant Workplaces
 

Audiometric testing is essential in industries such as forestry, construction, manufacturing, and agriculture. It helps identify hearing changes early, ensures compliance with health and safety obligations, and demonstrates your commitment to worker wellbeing.
