Hearing Tests For All Purposes
Pre-employment hearing tests
In job roles where superior hearing is a prerequisite, potential employers might require you to undertake a hearing assessment before your employment commences.
Industrial screening and monitoring
This is focused on tracking the ear health of workers exposed to loud environments, with a goal to uncover and mitigate any possible auditory damage that could develop as a consequence of their work tasks.
Industrial audiological evaluations
These comprehensive assessments evaluate the hearing health of people working in industrial settings and determine the extent of any hearing loss or damage.
Police Hearing Tests
Such assessments are crucial in verifying an appropriate level of auditory function in police officers, a requirement for competently executing their tasks and roles.
Aviation (CASA) hearing assessment
Aircrafts are known for producing considerable noise, which might affect those employed in the aviation sector. The Aviation (CASA) audiology evaluation plays a crucial part in ascertaining that pilots, airline staff, and other aviation workers retain adequate hearing capabilities to execute their roles securely.
Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) hearing assessments
These hearing evaluations provide Medicare-funded services for people with chronic or complex medical conditions, allowing them to access comprehensive hearing tests conducted by audiologists such as our MAC team.

Can I test my hearing myself?

What can a hearing test detect?
Hearing tests assess a person’s hearing abilities by measuring their sensitivity to sound volume and pitch. The results are depicted on an audiogram, which is a graphical representation that helps identify the extent and underlying causes of any hearing difficulties. These tests commonly involve pure tone audiometry and speech discrimination tests.
