Employers often include surprising requirements such as mandatory hearing tests for specific jobs. Occupations such as police officers, military personnel, airport workers, and commercial drivers (including school bus and semi-truck drivers) all demand excellent hearing.
Sometimes these types of hearing tests can be emotionally straining for us. It’s heart-breaking to have to break the news to a young person who has come in for a mandatory hearing test, that is filled with hope and excitement for their dream job in law enforcement or the military, that they did not pass their hearing evaluation.
Many factory jobs also mandate an annual hearing screening. These screenings track any changes since an employee was first hired with a company. The screenings look for any hearing loss that may have been due from being exposed to loud noises on the job.
It wouldn’t be surprising if you or someone in your family has encountered one of our skilled professionals from Lemme Audiology Associates in the workplace. For more than three decades, we have provided these essential services across Blair County, ensuring that employees maintain their crucial sense of hearing for both their personal well-being and job performance.
