HSE document "a guide to audiometric testing programmes" MS26 should
answer all your questions. It should also provide you with evidence to
argue for better testing environment and a training course for yourself.
Good luck

Subject: Audiometry
Hello again folks
I apologise that this is my third posting in a week, but I am in this
plant on my own and have only recently entered Occ Health. Must say that
I have found jiscmail to be an invaluable help and great support.
Basically, there is a portable Ampliovox 160 screening Audiometer in the
department. My manager and the Health and Safety officer have both said
that they would like hearing screening carried out on employees.
I notice from previous notes that a predecessor carried out testing in a
quiet room in the plant, and there is an instruction manual with the
Audiometer on how a test should be carried out.
My query is that I have never done audiometry before or have never done
any sort of Audiometry course. Do I need to have previous experience or
a specific course?
Also, while the instruction manual states that the test can be carried
out in a 'quiet room' using this audiometer, should there really be a
sound proof booth ?
I would be grateful for any help on this.
Regards
Chris
