Hi Tracy
 
That's interesting - I would be interested to know where that guidance came from?
 
I go by the HSE's categorization scheme.
 
I agree, we could find ourselves extremely busy with audiometry repeats if that particular 'quality control measure' was followed.
 
Kind regards
Pippa

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Audio testing

Good Morning. I have recently been advised of the following regarding audio testing and was surprised I had not come accross this recommendation previously;

''19. As a quality control measure, it would be prudent to repeat any audiogram which showed a difference from the previous result of more than 10 dB at any frequency.''

Please can you advise what your practices are? I feel that I may be repeating alot of tests if I do follow this advice. Thank you
