Hearing Conservation Programs

Protect Hearing. Prevent Claims. Stay Compliant.

Workplace noise is a leading cause of occupational hearing loss—and a major trigger for OSHA citations.


Memtech Acoustics builds and supports comprehensive Hearing Conservation Programs that reduce risk, improve safety culture, and meet every compliance checkpoint.

Why You Need a Hearing Conservation Program

OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.95 requires employers to implement a Hearing Conservation Program if noise exposure reaches or exceeds an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 dBA.

But a program isn’t just about avoiding fines—it’s about protecting your workforce from long-term harm, and showing employees that their health and safety matter.

Memtech Acoustics makes that possible with complete, 
turn-key support.

What’s Included in Our Hearing Conservation Programs

Our programs are built to align with OSHA, NIOSH, and ANSI standards. We offer full-service delivery or à la carte components to strengthen what you already have.

Our Core Services

Baseline and Annual Audiometric Testing

We help you set up, manage, or refer employees to qualified audiometric screening providers—ensuring compliance and early hearing loss detection.

Noise Exposure Testing & Risk Mapping

Using personal dosimeters and sound level meters, we identify who’s at risk and how noise travels through your workplace.

Hearing Protection Device (HPD) Selection

Not all earplugs are equal. We match employees with the right hearing protection—based on fit, frequency profile, job role, and comfort.

Training & Employee Education

We deliver OSHA-compliant annual training that teaches employees how noise affects hearing, how to use HPDs properly, and what their rights are.

Program Documentation & Recordkeeping

We create and maintain the records OSHA requires—including test logs, exposure results, training rosters, and written program materials.

Engineering and Administrative Controls

Where possible, we recommend ways to reduce noise at the source or through scheduling and rotation—not just PPE.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Hearing Conservation Program required for short-term noise exposure?
Yes, if the 8-hour average exceeds 85 dBA, even short bursts may trigger program requirements—especially for seasonal or rotating workers.
Can you help us integrate with our safety software or LMS?
Yes. We provide documentation and digital training content that can align with your internal systems.
What if we already have a program but it’s outdated or incomplete?
We’ll audit your existing program, identify gaps, and upgrade it to meet current standards.
