Audiometric screening services

Independent Hearing Assessment is a highly motivated and family run business in a very specialised field. We provide a nationwide service and will assist companies with a varied number of employees from 25 to over 7,000.

Established in 1990 by an Audiologist with some 29 years of experience and an engineer with a background of general engineering, our aim was to offer the highest level of service providing best value. Our clients require the audiometric screening of employees as part of their Health Surveillance Programmes, where employees are exposed to noise we will provide a noise assessment service which will comply with all aspects of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.

We pride ourselves for being completely independent, with every package tailored to meet the individual requirements of each client. We offer a highly professional, personal and flexible service with a competitive pricing policy.

We always offer the best value possible, with the emphasis on quality.

Our service enables employers to meet their duties under Regulation 9 of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.

We only use qualified audiologists employed by IHA, with many years of experience in conducting industrial screenings. Other suppliers use nurses or personnel merely trained in screening procedures, or locum audiologists who have limited or no experience with difficult industrial screening protocols. This can often lead to a poor quality service with unsatisfactory results and unnecessary on site issues.
