Audiology Screening Services

At Affinity Medical Services, we understand the long-term effects that industrial diseases can have on workers' health, particularly when it comes to Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). We offer comprehensive audiology screening clinics across England for our clients to help detect potential hearing loss before moving to more advanced examinations.

Our fully qualified audiologists use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, including bone conduction hearing tests in soundproof booths, ensuring the highest accuracy and reliability of results. Our commitment to quality extends to every aspect of the testing process, ensuring that we identify any evidence of NIHL early.

Key Features of Our Audiology Screening:

  • Fully qualified and experienced audiologists with years of expertise in occupational hearing testing.

  • All tests are BSA compliant, adhering to the highest standards of medical practice.

  • Soundproof booths ensure controlled testing environments for accurate results.

  • Sound levels are tested before the hearing test to ensure the proper settings for diagnosis.

Comprehensive Report Including ENT Examination

If the initial audiology screening is positive for NIHL, we arrange for a consultation with an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist. During this examination, the client will undergo another hearing test under the supervision of the ENT. This step allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the client’s condition, and a Coles-compliant report is prepared, which includes:

  • A full ENT examination and follow-up hearing test.

  • A detailed review of the client’s medical and occupational records to ensure all relevant factors are considered in the report.

This comprehensive approach ensures the most thorough and accurate diagnosis and reporting, offering clients peace of mind that their case is being handled by experts.

Our team is dedicated to tailoring each case to meet the specific needs of the client. We offer expert guidance on the most appropriate testing methods for each case, ensuring that the process is as cost-effective and successful as possible.

Military Deafness Claims

Military personnel, particularly those exposed to loud noises during service, are at higher risk of developing Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). At Affinity Medical Services, we provide expert guidance and comprehensive reports for military deafness claims.

What is Military Deafness?

Military deafness, a form of NIHL, occurs when service members are exposed to loud noises such as gunfire, explosions, or heavy machinery. This prolonged exposure can cause permanent hearing damage, including tinnitus or significant hearing loss.

Expert Reports for Military Deafness Claims

We offer detailed NIHL reports to support military deafness claims. Our expert audiologists assess hearing impairment, review noise exposure history, and provide professionally prepared reports to strengthen your claim for compensation or disability.

How We Can Help:

  • Hearing Assessments: Thorough audiology evaluations to determine the extent of hearing loss and its link to military service.

  • Expert Testimony: Professional testimony to support your claim with medical and scientific evidence.

  • Claim Assistance: We assist with documentation and evidence to ensure your claim is robust and well-supported.
