Employment Hearing Test
How NexGen Hearing helps with pre-employment hearing tests in British Columbia.
ABOUT EMPLOYMENT HEARING TESTS
Pre-Employment Hearing Tests in BC
While fairly uncommon for most jobs, some employers may require new recruits and employees to get a hearing test before starting their new position.
As a method of ensuring that each employee meets specific hearing safety requirements, employment hearing tests set a baseline for future expectations and helps determine possible hearing loss prior to employment or in some cases, as a cause of employment.
Typically, these employment hearing tests will be required in positions which relate to public safety, including but not limited to:
- Law Enforcement
- First Responders and Fire Fighters
- Public Transportation
- Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers

When you choose NexGen Hearing for employment hearing tests, we have got you covered on all bases with updated testing for the latest requirements to ensure that the hearing test is quick, smooth and efficient.
During your visit for an employment hearing test, our audiologists will perform a audiometric test to assess a series of tones through the earphones to one ear and the other to measure thresholds. From that point on, our audiologists will determine whether these thresholds are normal or abnormal and will conduct further testing if any hearing loss is suspected.
