On-Site Testing  Mobilear’s mobile units can be stationed at your facility.  This ensures a maximum amount of convenience and efficiency in testing.  In addition:  Prior to testing, necessary data and information is collected. This allows us to provide more efficient scheduling, a higher degree of accuracy and a smoother flow on the test date resulting in a minimal loss of production time. Testing area is environmentally controlled (A/C and heat). Testing is done in a sound booth with a device that continuously monitors the noise in the environment ensuring a quiet setting for more accurate test results. Up to six employees can be tested simultaneously. Case history information is taken at time of testing. Microprocessor computer-based equipment allows us to provide immediate determination of Standard Threshold Shift (STS). A verification test for STS employees can be completed before mobile unit leaves. Testing is conducted by a professional Audiologist or CAOHC certified technician. Mobilear units are to return to company for absentee testing or STS retesting.  Training Perhaps the most important part of a hearing conservation program is training and educating the employees about noise and hearing.  Mobilear’s training program:  Meets OSHA requirements Efficiently done in conjunction with on-site employee testing Revised annually to maintain employee interest Can be Customized to reflect your specific policies and requirements Large group training sessions and management programs available Topics covered: Effects of noise on hearing Hearing Protection Purpose of hearing testing  Existing Data If you currently have a program, Mobilear can: -      Convert your existing test results into our database -      To avoid loss of historical data, our test results will be compared to the results you  provided.    In-house Programs OSHA requires for programs where testing is conducted in-house by a certified technician or nurse, professional surveillance must occur.  Mobilear can provide guidance by a professional audiologist in starting or maintaining a cost effective and efficient hearing conservation program.  Mobilear works with you to:  Review all test results Computerize case history information obtained by your staff Make comparison of annual to baseline tests Determine Standard Threshold Shift (STS) Determine need for Medical referrals and Revision of baselines Interpret results and make recommendations Provide Letters of Notification to employees with STS and medical referrals Audiological surveillance Supervision of your technician and audiometric testing program Review of problem audiograms/medical referrals Follow-up Reporting  Our reports include all the information needed to make appropriate follow-up easy All test results are reviewed by an audiologist An audiologist will contact you to: Discuss the results of the hearing testing Determine what type of follow-up needs to be done Make determination if STS is work-related All reports and test results are completely confidential Mobilear will contact you annually to schedule testing
