Occupational noise-induced hearing loss.
Occupational noise-induced hearing loss is, at least in theory, preventable. One way to assess the problem and whether preventative measures are effective is to assess employees' hearing. In order to minimize cost and time off work this can be carried out effectively in the workplace as long as certain conditions are met.
