When should you have your hearing tested?
As a professional working in noisy environments, it’s crucial to prioritise your hearing health. Regular annual assessments are recommended, similar to routine eye check-ups. Hearing decline can be subtle and often unnoticed, especially in loud workplaces where it can accelerate. Taking proactive steps to manage your hearing safety at work is essential; the earlier you start, the better your chances of preventing long-term damage.
