On-Site Hearing Testing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Benke Ear Nose & Throat Clinic deploys the Otomobile for mobile hearing services. The Otomobile is designed for small and large companies who require annual audiometric testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Otomobile is capable of testing 4 individuals every 10-20 minutes (12-16 persons\/hour). Testing is performed annually by a CAOHC certified technician in accordance with OSHA and MSHA hearing conservation standards. The results are compared to the baseline test to monitor any changes in the employee\u2019s hearing. All testing is supervised and reviewed by Dr. Benke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
