Attune’s approach to workplace noise and hearing health is holistic. Unlike any other provider in Australia, Attune Workplace combines with our Attune Hearing Clinics and our Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists to provide a unique, medically based approach to workplace hearing and noise issues.

We understand your statutory obligations as an employer and the consequences of noise induced hearing loss –financially, socially and in terms of productivity loss – on your workforce.

The Federal Government has estimated the cost of hearing loss to Australia at over $11 billion per annum. The Senate recently conducted an enquiry into Hearing Health in Australia and concluded in May 2010 that –

‘The largest element of this cost, at over half the total, was lost wages and productivity among people with a hearing loss. The value to the nation of retaining or re-engaging people with a hearing loss in the workplace is thus huge’.
(Hear Us: Inquiry into Hearing Health in Australia May 2010)

With the recent recommendations from the Senate Enquiry there will be a much greater focus moving forward, on occupational noise, workplace equipment, hearing protection, and the long-term effects of acoustic shock and acoustic trauma.

Noise induced hearing loss is permanent, measurable and costly but it is also preventable.

Whether it is prevention, management or rehabilitation – if noise is a hazard in your workplace, Attune Workplace can help you with our comprehensive range of specialist hearing and noise solutions.

 A Quick Workplace Hearing Test for your Business

Are there areas in your workplace that you or your staff think are noisy?
Are there areas where you must raise your voice in order to be heard?
Are noise levels as loud or louder than heavy traffic?
Do any employees complain of ringing in the ears or dull hearing?
Do any employees complain of headache, lack of concentration or irritability during or after work?
Do long term employees seem to have difficulty hearing?

If the answer is "yes" to any of these questions, risks from exposure to noise may exist in your workplace.
