Work related hearing loss continues to be a critical workplace safety and health issue. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health named hearing loss one of the 21 priority areas for research in the next century. Noise-induced hearing loss is 100 percent preventable but once acquired, hearing loss is permanent and irreversible. Therefore, prevention measures must be taken by employers and workers to ensure the protection of workers' hearing. McLaren's Industrial Health departments can help you with your hearing program. We offer COHC technicians who can come on-site and perform state of the art hearing tests. Industrial Health also offers education and training for your employees in regard to hearing health. Also, Industrial Health can help you determine if an employee's hearing loss is work related or not.
