Industrial Hearing Tests
Territory Hearing can undertake industrial hearing screening for your employees to not only assess whether an employee has any hearing loss, but we’ll also explain how they can protect their hearing in the future. Each test only takes 20 minutes and, at the end of it, we’ll be able to recommend the best options for hearing protection.
Noise at work legislation is a serious consideration for employers and employees alike, especially as the First Action Level in Australia was decreased from 85dB to 80dB in February 2006. It’s therefore, essential for employers to protect their staff against irreversible hearing loss or conditions such as tinnitus.
At Territory Hearing, we offer a range of Industrial Hearing Tests for companies who are, by law, required to provide annual hearing tests to their employees due to a loud working environment.

Once the industrial hearing test has been completed it will need to be repeated every 12 months for another two years, and then every 3 years, as required by law.
