An Audiogram is a diagnostic hearing test that measures an individual's hearing sensitivity across different frequencies. In occupational settings, audiograms are a critical component of OSHA's Hearing Conservation Program (29 CFR 1910.95), which requires annual testing for workers exposed to noise levels at or above 85 decibels.

Audiometric testing establishes baseline hearing levels and monitors for changes that might indicate noise-induced hearing loss. Early detection allows for intervention before permanent damage occurs.

BlueHive provides audiometric testing services through our network of certified audiometric technicians and occupational health clinics, helping employers maintain OSHA compliance and protect employee hearing health.
