The Importance of Hearing Prevention in the Workplace

Anyone working in a noisy environment is at risk of developing occupational hearing loss over time. In fact, hearing disorders account for nearly 70% of occupational illnesses, and 93% of occupational claims are related to hearing problems. These issues can develop very subtly if:

  • Hearing protection is absent or inadequate;
  • Noise exposure time is too long;
  • Sound intensity is too high;
  • The employee has certain predispositions.

Why work with audiologists?

  • To benefit from expert advice on hearing health and improve your processes in PREVENTION, ASSESSMENT, and TREATMENT of hearing issues.
  • To provide a healthy and comfortable work environment for your employees.
  • To reduce occupational claims and CNESST expenses.
  • To protect your company from unwanted costs:
    • Hearing damage from previous jobs or personal causes.
  • To comply with new noise exposure standards:
    • The noise exposure limit has been lowered from 90 dB to 85 dB.
    • Training is now mandatory every 2 years, and noise measurements every 5 years
