Hearing Testing

Everwell uses a fully automated portable system with sound excluding headphones that can be used in a quiet room. This allows us to perform hearing surveillance to the new HSE/ Noise at Work Regulation guidelines on your site and at your convenience without the requirement of a cumbersome acoustic booth or an expensive mobile unit. 

Everwell’s process typically takes 15-20 minutes per person. This includes a review of a hearing questionnaire (to be completed by each individual), the audiometric test itself, an examination of the ears and an explanation of the results.

The audiometric test is relatively straight forward, after quick instructions on what to do, the audiometry programme is run and this automatically goes through the prescribed frequencies. The final output is presented as a audiogram (graph) with the overall result adjusted for age and classified into one of four categories (as per the Noise at Work Regs). A summarised report is produced at the end for Management and results are filed and stored.  

Note: Any employee failing the tests will normally be referred onward to a Doctor, normally their own GP.  However Everwell can arrange a referral to an Occupational Health Physician. 

This is just one of a number of HSE & COSHH compliant on-site health surveillance and medical screening services that Everwell Occupational Health offers acoss the UK.
