Industrial Hearing Screening

AudioMax Hearing Conservation Program

Noise-induced hearing loss can be caused by a one-time exposure to an intense impulse sound, such as an explosion, or by continuous exposure to loud sounds over an extended period of time, such as noise generated in a mine or factory, or those who shoot regularly. AudioMax guides its clientele into implementing a well-structured, five staged Hearing Conservation program (HCP).
