Each of these special assessments have their own unique requirements.
Police: Applicants require formal audiometry as part of their medical assessment process. Section 3 of the Victoria Police medical assessment booklet must be completed by an audiologist. We perform many of these police hearing tests each year and can provide the hearing assessment and complete section 3 as required.
Pilots: Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers may have their hearing assessed at Alpha Hearing. We offer aviation hearing tests that comply with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) audiogram requirements.
Scuba Diving: One of the most crucial aspects of preparing for a safe diving experience is ensuring you’re physically fit for the activity. An often-overlooked part of this process is the hearing assessment. It plays a vital role in a diver’s safety and overall health. Without a hearing assessment, you may not be aware of existing problems that could worsen during a dive. Ignoring such issues can lead to severe injuries, such as ruptured eardrums, hearing loss, or long-term damage to the ear’s structures. A hearing assessment for scuba diving medicals is a straightforward, non-invasive process which we can conduct at our clinics.
Work Related Hearing Tests : For most employers in industries exposed to noise, it is a WorkSafe requirement that all employees have their hearing tested pre-employment to establish their base level of hearing. They should then be tested every 2 years thereafter. We can provide all employment related hearing tests for employees exposed to workplace noise.
We conduct many of these assessments each year, so you can be confident the relevant requirements will be met for the particular test you need conducted.
