The Hearing Company is WA’s leading provider of occupational audiology assessment services. Our targeted assessments and reports assist noisy industries to comply with WA’s new hearing assessment laws.
Specialists in high noise audiology
Like every field of health assessment, audiologists focus on specific areas of service delivery (we can’t be great at everything!).
At The Hearing Company our primary focus is on supporting workers and businesses in high noise industries.
Our team of university-qualified audiologists provide specialist assessments of noise-exposed workers. We prepare detailed, concise, plain language reports that address the key requirements:
- confirmation of hearing shift from reference (baseline)
- opinion on work-relatedness
- confirmation of temporary or permanent shift
- identification of any medical/treatable conditions
- opinion on revising the reference
In short, we tick all the boxes for clarity and compliance.
New legislation for noisy industries in WA
In 2024, the WA government introduced major changes to hearing testing legislation in WA, managed by two regulatory bodies: WorkSafe WA and WorkCover WA.
As experts in the field, our team understands all the industry requirements: for hearing testing, analysing results and reporting.
