Accurate, reliable and timely occupational hearing assessments supporting employee wellbeing, workplace monitoring and WorkCover requirements.
At Welfast Hearing Australia, WorkCover Hearing Tests support workplace health, employee wellbeing and occupational safety requirements. Excessive noise is a leading cause of preventable hearing loss, and regular testing helps detect changes before communication and safety are affected.
We work with employees, employers, occupational health providers and insurers using industry-standard equipment in a controlled clinical environment.
It is a comprehensive hearing assessment for people working in noisy environments or requiring evidence for workplace injury claims, compensation or occupational monitoring. It helps establish whether hearing loss may relate to workplace noise and provides useful information for workers, employers, insurers and medical practitioners.
Testing is recommended for workers exposed to occupational noise and organisations monitoring hearing health or meeting hearing-conservation obligations.
Early intervention can reduce the long-term impact of occupational hearing loss.
Noise-induced hearing loss often develops gradually. Workers may be unaware of deterioration until hearing conversations or workplace signals becomes difficult.
PTA measures hearing sensitivity from approximately 250 Hz to 8000 Hz—the range covering sounds most important for everyday communication.

Otoscopic examination

Pure Tone and Speech Audiometry

NIHL occurs when prolonged loud-sound exposure damages sensory hair cells in the inner ear. Heavy machinery, power tools, aircraft, farming and industrial equipment are common sources. The damage is permanent but largely preventable through early detection and suitable protection.
Routine testing supports employees and employers by providing objective records, identifying changes and strengthening prevention programs.
We provide professional occupational assessments using modern diagnostic technology, evidence-based protocols, accurate reporting and timely support for employees and organisations.
