Hearing Conservation Programs
OSHA-Compliant Conservation From CAOHC Course Directors
Every occupational hearing conservation program in San Antonio, TX we run starts with a clear picture of the noise your team actually works in. Owners Dr. Joseph Pratt and Dr. Nathan Ortiz hold CAOHC's highest credential — Course Director and Professional Supervisor — and built their careers running the US Navy's two largest hearing conservation programs at Naval Stations San Diego and Norfolk. That experience drives every survey, baseline, and report we deliver to employers across Bexar County.
Mobile Testing, Surveys & CAOHC Training in One Partner
Most clinics aren't equipped to bring audiology to your facility. We are. From the Babcock Rd office we dispatch onsite mobile audiometric screening across San Antonio and surrounding cities, run formal noise surveys and dosimetry for OSHA and NIOSH documentation, fit custom occupational earplugs, and host CAOHC certification courses for safety managers and occupational health nurses. One independent partner, one chain of custody — no juggling vendors when audit time comes around.
Hearing Conservation FAQs
Common questions from San Antonio employers about hearing conservation — what an OSHA-compliant program covers, how mobile testing works, what CAOHC credentials mean, and how often to retest.
A compliant hearing conservation program under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 usually includes five pieces: a noise exposure survey, annual audiometric testing for exposed employees, audiologist or physician review of those audiograms, employee training, and properly fit hearing protection. The program also requires written records, baseline audiograms within six months of hire or first exposure, and structured follow-up whenever a standard threshold shift is identified.
Precision Hearing handles every piece end-to-end — survey, mobile testing, audiogram review by a CAOHC Professional Supervisor, custom and stock protection, and worker training. That single chain of custody keeps OSHA documentation clean at audit time. Call (210) 695-4707 to scope a program for your team.
Yes. Our mobile audiometric service brings the testing booth, calibrated equipment, and licensed technicians directly to your facility — minimizing downtime and removing the need to send workers offsite. Most onsite programs cover baseline and annual audiograms in line with OSHA, plus an immediate field review of any results that look unusual so a worker isn't waiting for answers.
We schedule around your shift patterns — including early-morning and second-shift windows — and audiograms are reviewed by a CAOHC Professional Supervisor before reports go to your safety team. Onsite custom earplug fittings can be added to the same visit. Call (210) 695-4707 to discuss your site.
The Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC) sets the national standard for who can administer industrial hearing tests and supervise a conservation program. Course Director is the top credential — the only level certified to train and certify the technicians who run annual hearing screenings, and the level required to teach the official CAOHC curriculum.
Both owners at Precision Hearing hold Course Director and Professional Supervisor credentials, and they were among only two or three Navy audiologists nationwide running the service's largest conservation programs. For employers, that means your program is supervised by the same caliber of professional CAOHC uses to certify everyone else in the field. Call (210) 695-4707.
OSHA requires a baseline audiogram within six months of hire (or within a year if your audiograms are scheduled through a mobile service), followed by an annual audiogram for every employee exposed at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels. Each annual test is compared back to the baseline to flag any standard threshold shift.
When a shift is identified, the worker is notified, reviewed, and refit with appropriate protection, and the program steps up to confirm whether the change is real or temporary. Precision Hearing manages that entire workflow for our partner employers. Call (210) 695-4707 to set up annual testing for your site.
