Long exposure to loud noise can cause damage to the eardrum. Be proactive by wearing earplugs in loud work environments, as you operate firearms and machinery and at concerts. Listen to music, movies and videos at reasonable levels.
Audiologists perform extensive tests and measurements to help treat or work with you to prevent more damage. CBHA physician Dr. Al Atfeh and his is certified to complete in-house auditory testing with an Audiometric machine.

Occupational Health
On-the-job hearing loss happens over time. OSHA requires many industries to conduct hearing tests for new employees, and again annually. We do baseline testing and patient pre-screenings to assess and track occupational hearing loss.
If the results of your baseline or annual screening indicate loss, our team helps create a plan to prevent or reduce additional damage.
