Since our founding in 1974, HTI, Inc. has provided comprehensive audiometric testing, reporting, record keeping, and hearing conservation services to clients in a broad range of industries, including automotive, manufacturing, governmental, and service sectors. We were one of the first U.S. companies to bring mobile, multi-station audiometric testing to the workplace, helping our clients maximize savings by minimizing employees’ time off the job.

Today, HTI’s CAOHC-certified and licensed technicians staff our sophisticated mobile testing units, helping to ensure the compliance of your program. We conduct each hearing test with a computer-based, microprocessor audiometer, eliminating human error and bias. In addition, we conduct hearing conservation training concurrently with audiometric testing so that employees are scheduled away from work only once for OSHA-mandated instruction and testing.

Each HTI mobile unit can perform 256 hearing tests per eight-hour shift and will work around-the-clock to meet your shift schedules. Employees receive written notification immediately following each testing session, which meets OSHA’s requirement for written communication of test results. This way, you save time and effort by not having to distribute test results later.

Once audiometric testing is completed, the tests are analyzed by our proprietary software – HEALTHTREND 2000™. The data is then professionally reviewed by our experienced staff audiologist, who has worked for more than 30 years in industrial audiometry.

If your company already manages an in-house audiometric testing program, we can work with your staff to provide professional oversight of the testing data, as well as accurate, consistent, computerized reporting, and record keeping. HTI can return all of your testing records in an electronic format which substantially reduces the volume of paper and dedicated storage needed to meet OSHA compliance requirements of 30-year, post-employment record retention.

In addition, HTI offers corporate program management services to clients with plants located throughout the U.S. We can coordinate audiometric testing schedules for each facility in your organization, as well as analyze, review, report, and store all test results. This service allows clients to maintain consistent reporting at each plant and uniform notification of test results to all employees. HTI’s program management service allows corporations to focus their resources on the bigger picture and not the daily activities of scheduling and testing.

At the end of each year, HTI can benchmark the incidence of standard threshold shifts at corporate, division, and plant levels. You can use this analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of your company’s hearing conservation program, and proactively identify problem areas before they become compliance issues.

HTI’s goal is to work with you. Whatever your needs, from on-site audiometric testing to corporate-wide data management, HTI will help leverage your opportunities and address your challenges.
