1 – Hearing Test – this is when you get your hearing tested and we tell you where you are at in terms of hearing ability. Check out our hearing test page for more information.
2 – Noise Assessment – this is when the environment around you is tested to see the noise levels (in decibels) to see what your exposure levels are at.
