55 year old male received audiometric test: plh 14.3. The graphic indicated that he suffered from noise-induced hearing loss. He was working for the current employer only a year, so the question then is where he suffered this hearing loss.
An occupational health history, indicating exposure to hazards and duration of said exposure is very important, because you must ascertain where the damage occured. Therefore an entry and exit medical examination is vital, as this can indemnify your company from possible claims arising from employees' occupational injuries occurring elsewhere.
Some updates:
- We were recently commissioned to perform medical tests on the applicants for the 2010 FIFA World Cup official drivers. Medicals included ECG's, cholesterol tests, drug testing, audiometry, lung-function, special vision screening, physical examination and occupational and medical histories. We were working under the direction of an Occupational Medical Practitioner.

- We performed audiometric tests for Paarl Media Group in beautiful Paarl, being surrounded by vineyards and lovely countryside.
Our mobile clinic truck, affectionately called "Melady", decided to give us a teabreak at the friendly Dunlop service centre across the road... the flat tyre was seen to efficiently and we were on our way again soon.
- "Melady" is currently receiving a face-lift from panel-beaters and by next week she will sport brand new look, with brand new signage, botox, nip and tuck!Till next time.
