Audiologists
Audiologists identify and measure hearing-related impairment. They specialize in fitting hearing aids and other assistive listening devices to minimize the impact of hearing loss on a worker’s life.
Hearing test results, noise exposure history and other health-related factors help audiologists determine if a worker’s hearing loss may be caused by occupational factors.
