Should you require pre-employment hearing tests from your job candidates? An audiometric test ensures that a potential employee will be able to adequately hear so that they are able to perform their tasks accurately and safely, for themselves, their co-workers and customers. There is another important aspect of audiometry testing before hiring, and that is to establish a baseline for the person’s hearing acuity, which is especially important if they will be working in a noisy environment. In fact, in workplaces that exceed a specified noise level, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires periodic hearing tests. If this applies to your business, we highly recommend a pre-employment hearing test for every applicant.

Vr Speech And Hearing Clinic offers a wide range of comprehensive occupational health screenings, including audiometric exams. Through our integrated StaffGlass platform, our business partners can order a pre-employment hearing test for a candidate, schedule the exam, track status and manage tests for all applicants. If the person is hired, their information becomes their employee record. From there, you can schedule a hearing check every year of their employment and monitor their test results. This streamlines the process of keeping your employees safe and healthy.
