Workplace Hearing Tests in Witbank (Emalahleni)

30–45 minutes

Witbank is a mining and industrial town. Workers in loud environments — underground, in factories, or operating heavy machinery — face real risk of permanent noise-induced hearing loss. At Thumeka Mbele Audiology, we provide occupational hearing assessments that meet South African regulatory requirements and help employers protect their workers.

What is it?

Industrial (occupational) audiology includes baseline and periodic hearing tests for workers exposed to hazardous noise, as required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Mine Health and Safety Act. We assess hearing, identify early signs of noise-induced hearing loss, and advise on appropriate hearing protection.

  1. 1A standard hearing assessment (audiogram)
  2. 2Assessment of noise-induced hearing loss patterns
  3. 3Documented results suitable for occupational health records
  4. 4Recommendation on appropriate hearing protection for the specific work environment
  5. 5Referral if medical follow-up is required

Who is this for?

  • Mineworkers in and around Witbank, Emalahleni, and Mpumalanga
  • Factory and manufacturing workers
  • Construction workers and machine operators
  • Employers needing compliant hearing conservation programmes
  • Any worker who has noticed hearing changes after years in a noisy environment

Common questions

Is occupational hearing testing required by law in South Africa?
Yes. The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires employers to conduct baseline and periodic hearing assessments for workers exposed to hazardous noise levels.
Can noise-induced hearing loss be reversed?
No. Once noise-induced hearing loss occurs, it is permanent. Early detection and proper hearing protection are the only effective strategies.
Do you do on-site workplace hearing testing?
Contact us to discuss your requirements. We assess workers at our Witbank practice and can advise on options for larger groups.
