Yes, many employers include a baseline hearing test as part of pre-employment screening. This gives them a starting point for comparing future periodic tests. This is especially useful for roles with regular noise exposure.

Most hearing conservation programs call for audiometric testing on an annual basis. This can vary based on noise exposure levels, job role, and OSHA requirements. Testing on a consistent schedule is what makes it possible to catch small changes before they become bigger problems.

Hearing protection, like earplugs or earmuffs, reduces noise exposure on the job. Periodic hearing tests then track whether that protection is working over time by monitoring any changes in an employee’s hearing from one test to the next.

Hearing testing is one part of a hearing conservation program. Hearing conservation covers the full picture: testing, protection equipment, and monitoring. Hearing testing (or audiometric testing) refers specifically to the exam that measures an employee’s hearing at a point in time.

A hearing conservation program is an employer’s overall approach to protecting workers from occupational noise-related hearing loss. It typically includes periodic hearing testing, hearing protection requirements, and noise monitoring, all run on a set schedule to catch changes early and stay compliant with OSHA standards.

Examinetics has completed a SOC 2 examination by an independent CPA firm, meeting recognized standards for managing data securely.

It can be. Alcohol testing is typically offered alongside drug testing as part of a combined post-offer screening panel.

A single, managed program applies the same protocols and turnaround standards at every site, rather than leaving each location to run its own process.
