Industrial Testing

Some California employers are required to test their employees hearing annually and take the necessary precautions to reduce hearing loss due to noise exposure. Many of these employers turn to the Agency For Hearing. We work with them to meet OSHA requirements, provide hearing protection and educate employees on hearing conversation methods. Over the years, we have successfully tested thousands of employees.
