Workplace Hearing Test in Ontario
If you are applying to a job that requires proof of hearing ability, Hearing Solutions provides in-clinic audiometric testing across our 20 Ontario locations. We issue documentation in a format suitable for employer licensing requirements. No referral needed. Testing is $145 and in many cases your employer or the company you are applying to may reimburse the fee.
Who Needs a Workplace Test?
Certain regulated industries and roles in Ontario require applicants or employees to demonstrate a baseline level of hearing ability before starting work. This is typically part of the hiring or licensing process – not a reflection of your current hearing health, but a standard requirement for roles where hearing directly affects safety and performance.
You may need a workplace hearing test if you are applying for a position in:
- Law enforcement (Police, OPP, RCMP)
- Firefighting
- Aviation and air traffic control
- Commercial driving and transportation
- Trades and apprenticeships in noise-regulated environments
- Military service
- Mining, construction, and heavy industry
Requirements vary by employer, licensing body, and union agreement. If your offer letter, licensing authority, or union requires a hearing test, Hearing Solutions can provide the assessment and documentation you need.
What Does a Workplace Hearing Test Include
A workplace hearing test at Hearing Solutions is a full audiometric assessment – the same clinical standard used for any comprehensive hearing evaluation. Your results are documented and provided in a format suitable for your employer or licensing body. Your assessment includes:
1. Pure-Tone Audiometry
This measures your hearing thresholds across a range of frequencies to establish your baseline hearing ability.
2. Speech Recognition Testing
We evaluate how well you understand spoken words at different volume levels.
3. Audiogram
A written record of your results is provided that clearly documents your hearing thresholds.
4. Employment Documentation
Your results provided in a format suitable for your employer, licensing authority, or union.
Documentation requirements vary by role and employer. We recommend confirming what format is required before your appointment so we can ensure your results are provided correctly the first time.
