Work-related hearing evaluations for employees and employers.
Many employers require hearing testing before hiring, especially for positions in public safety, government, transportation, construction, manufacturing, and noise-exposed industries.

- City and state positions
- Law enforcement and fire departments
- Transportation employees
- Construction and industrial workers

Concerned about years of loud workplace exposure?
For individuals who have spent years working in loud environments and are concerned about hearing loss or tinnitus, we provide comprehensive evaluations to assess hearing status, document findings, and recommend appropriate treatment options.
If you have been told you referred or failed a workplace hearing screening, a comprehensive evaluation can determine whether true hearing loss is present and identify possible causes, such as earwax, medical conditions, or temporary hearing changes.
Occupational hearing loss in New York. How the process works.
The 90-day rule
A 90-day period away from occupational noise is generally required before a hearing evaluation can accurately reflect permanent loss. Temporary threshold shifts can otherwise inflate the findings and complicate the claim.
Why documentation quality matters
A comprehensive hearing evaluation documents the type, degree, and configuration of the loss, forming the basis of any Schedule Loss of Use determination. Disputes in workers' compensation cases often turn on whether the documented loss is clearly tied to occupational exposure rather than aging or recreational noise.
What Dr. Singer provides
Claims in New York must generally be filed within two years and 90 days of the last date of exposure. An attorney advises on exact deadlines and eligibility. Dr. Singer provides the audiological evaluation and documentation. Legal advice is outside the scope of this practice.

- Defensible methodology, with test conditions and calibration documented
