Audiometric Testing + Mobile Hearing Test
“An employer must provide, at the employer’s expense, the following audiometric tests for a worker exposed to excess noise: (a) an initial baseline test as soon as is practicable, but not later than six months after the worker is employed or within six months after a worker is exposed to excess noise because of a change in the worker’s duties or process conditions…”

Mobile Hearing Test + Audiometric Testing
Audiometric Assessment & Testing is Essential to Your Hearing Management Program - We provide Mobile Hearing Tests
For your noise management program that needs to comply with WorkSafe standards to protect your employees’ safety and health, audiometric testing is essential.
To ensure safety and reduce health hazards are met for your employees, Rocky Mountain Mobile Hearing Testing offers on-site audiometric testing.
We aim to make audiometric testing as efficient and effective as possible, where it won’t prove to be an inconvenience to anyone.
Our efficient mobile testing enables us to visit facilities in workplaces that are located in Calgary, Lethbridge, Edmonton, and Red Deer, providing effective and quality testing wherever we go.
With thoroughly advanced equipment that stringently meet the WorkSafe guidelines, and our team of skilled and certified technicians, we work to measure your workers’ hearing with minimal interruption to the work day.
As hearing care professionals we offer a flexible schedule that is tailored to your time of convenience, so your workplace can meet WorkSafe standards and get a hearing assessment without compromise. After we measure their hearing, we will have an indication of the influence that your workplace has on your employee’s hearing and how effective your hearing conservation program is.
Fast & Efficient On-Site Audiometric Testing
Our service is widespread, and our on-the-spot tests are offered in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Eastern BC. You can be assured that the services provided in our mobile facilities are conducted promptly so as not to interrupt the workday.
Our on-site audiometric testing process consists of workers completing a questionnaire before they take the test.
The worker will then sit in a CSA-approved sound booth within one of our mobile facilities, and numerous audible tones will be heard at different frequencies. When the employer in the mobile facility hears a sound, typically a beeping noise, they will respond by clicking a button that will indicate that a sound has been audible to the individual worker.
After the test has been completed, our experienced technicians will go through the results with your employees, results that will determine if support is needed, and discuss the use of hearing protection.
After these discussions, a report will be provided that is meant to help comprehensively assess your hearing conservation program.
Regular hearing tests are essential for maintaining hearing health and catching any potential hearing loss early. A comprehensive hearing test conducted by hearing care professionals can assess your ability to hear different frequencies and determine if you have hearing loss, or if you need further support, such as hearing aids. If you’re experiencing difficulty hearing conversations or background noise, a hearing assessment or hearing evaluation can help you find the right solution for your needs.

What Your Employees Should Expect From An Audiometric Test
A Discussion About Your Medical & Hearing History
The Audiometric Test
- You will wear a pair of earphones for the duration of the test and will be seated in a CSA approved sound booth
- The technician will then intermittently play a series of beeps and audible tones at different volumes and frequencies
- If you hear a tone, you will click a responder button. If you don’t hear anything, you don’t press anything
- The tones and beeps will either get louder or quieter depending on the severity of your responses
Expect Follow-Up Guidance (For Both Employees & Employers)
For employees, as this test is a screening tool, you will not be diagnosed if you have any conditions. If there are concerns about your hearing, you will be referred to a professional who will conduct further tests if necessary. The audiometric technicians will be more than happy to explain the importance of hearing protection (such as getting custom earplugs) and the effects of hearing loss from noise, but they cannot diagnose you medically.
For employers, the results from the audiometric test, and other sound assessments, will quantify the effectiveness of the hearing conservation program that is currently in place. Changes might, or might not, be implemented for the program to ensure that it complies with Worksafe standards and to prevent employees suffering from noise-induced hearing loss.
Audiometry testing helps employers meet workplace safety requirements, monitor noise exposure, and identify early signs of hearing loss in workers. It also supports a stronger hearing conservation program by helping businesses understand whether current controls, hearing protection, and testing schedules are working.
Regular audiometric testing can also support better hearing health by giving workers access to non invasive tests, expert guidance, and ongoing support when hearing concerns appear. Rocky Mountain Mobile Hearing Testing provides mobile hearing services that help employers meet safety standards while making it easier for workers to complete testing on site, especially when teams need mobile hearing, custom hearing protection, or expert hearing care without disrupting the workday.
For individuals, mobile hearing options can also make care more accessible for people with mobility issues or those who prefer testing in their own home. A hearing professional can review hearing loss, discuss hearing aids when needed, recommend solutions tailored to each person, and help clients move toward better hearing so they can stay connected at work, at home, and in daily life.
Ignoring audiometry testing can lead to preventable worker hearing damage, poor documentation, compliance concerns, and higher costs later. If noise problems are not identified early, employers may need more expensive fixes, such as new equipment, added noise controls, updated procedures, or additional protective equipment.
No, hearing testing is not mandatory for every business or every employee. However, we recommend that everyone undergo regular testing throughout their lives to ensure that any changes can be noticed and addressed without worsening or ignorance. With that being said, there are some exceptions to the rule where hearing testing is a legislative requirement of continued operation.
For workplaces where employees are exposed to loud noise, a mobile hearing clinic can make testing easier by bringing mobile hearing services directly to the job site. This can include a hearing assessment, home hearing tests where appropriate, protection fit testing, and guidance from a hearing professional who can address hearing concerns before they become more serious.
Regular testing is also important for long-term hearing health. A hearing assessment can help identify early signs of hearing loss, determine whether hearing protection is working properly, and provide ongoing support for workers who may need follow-up care. In some cases, employees may also need hearing aids or other solutions if hearing loss has already affected their ability to hear clearly.
