About Xtreme Hearing

Xtreme Hearing is a Phoenix-based provider specializing in hearing conservation and industrial hearing protection. They work with businesses that have noisy work environments and need to comply with OSHA's hearing conservation standard, which applies to workplaces where noise levels regularly exceed 85 decibels as an 8-hour time-weighted average. Their services include noise monitoring, audiometric testing, hearing protection fitting and training, and full written hearing conservation program development. With a perfect five-star client rating, Xtreme Hearing has built a strong reputation for responsive service and practical expertise. Their background spans industrial settings, construction, manufacturing, motorsports, and other high-noise environments where hearing loss is a real occupational risk. They treat each client's program as a custom build rather than a generic template, which tends to produce better compliance outcomes and better participation from employees who understand why the program matters.

How They Can Help

Xtreme Hearing's core services cover the full spectrum of OSHA-required hearing conservation program components. Noise monitoring is typically the starting point. They use calibrated sound level meters and noise dosimeters to measure employee exposure levels throughout a shift or across different areas of the facility. The data collected determines whether your operation is subject to OSHA's hearing conservation requirements and at what level. If monitoring confirms elevated noise exposure, they move into audiometric testing. They conduct baseline and annual audiograms for enrolled employees, review results, and flag any standard threshold shifts that OSHA requires to be documented. Their staff explains results to employees in plain language, which reduces anxiety and improves follow-through on hearing protection use. Hearing protection device fitting and selection is another key service. Not all protection works for all situations. They evaluate noise spectra, comfort, communication needs, and job tasks to recommend the right devices for each worker. They also provide training on how to wear, maintain, and store hearing protection properly, since improper use dramatically reduces effectiveness. Full program documentation and record-keeping support is included for clients who want a complete, audit-ready hearing conservation program.

What to Expect

Xtreme Hearing's process is designed to be low-friction for the businesses they serve. It starts with a site assessment to understand your noise environment. They'll ask about your equipment, your layout, your shift schedules, and your current hearing protection practices if any exist. From there, they schedule the noise monitoring visits, which typically involve taking measurements during a normal production day to capture real-world exposure levels. Once monitoring data is collected and analyzed, they present a report showing which areas and roles exceed action levels or permissible exposure limits under OSHA standards. They then build or update your hearing conservation program document to reflect current findings, enroll affected employees in audiometric testing, and schedule training sessions. Audiometric testing can be conducted at your facility using mobile equipment, which minimizes disruption to operations. Annual program reviews are available for ongoing clients to keep records current and catch any changes in noise levels or workforce that might affect compliance status.

Service Area

Xtreme Hearing serves businesses throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area and across the broader state of Arizona. Mobile audiometric testing and noise monitoring can be conducted at client facilities in Maricopa, Pinal, and Yavapai counties. For industrial clients in outlying areas including Casa Grande, Prescott, and the greater Tucson corridor, service visits can be arranged with advance scheduling. Contact them to discuss logistics and any travel costs that may apply for locations significantly outside the Phoenix metro.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my business needs a hearing conservation program?
OSHA requires a hearing conservation program if workers are exposed to noise at or above 85 dB as an 8-hour time-weighted average. If you have loud equipment or workers in consistently noisy areas, noise monitoring is the right first step to determine whether you're above that threshold.
What is audiometric testing and who needs it?
Audiometric testing measures hearing ability at various frequencies and establishes a baseline that future tests are compared against to detect hearing changes over time. OSHA requires it for employees enrolled in a hearing conservation program, typically those exposed to noise above the 85 dB action level.
How often does audiometric testing need to happen?
OSHA requires a baseline audiogram for newly enrolled employees and annual follow-up audiograms for all enrolled workers. If a standard threshold shift is detected, additional follow-up actions and retesting within 30 days may be required.
Can you come to our facility for testing?
Yes, Xtreme Hearing offers mobile audiometric testing at client locations throughout the Phoenix area and beyond. On-site testing eliminates the need for employees to travel and typically results in higher participation rates compared to off-site clinic testing.
What happens if an employee shows a hearing loss during testing?
If a standard threshold shift is detected, OSHA requires specific follow-up actions including notifying the employee in writing, refitting hearing protection, and retesting within 30 days. Xtreme Hearing can walk you through those requirements and document the required steps properly.
Do you provide the hearing protection devices as well?
Yes, hearing protection selection and fitting is part of their service. They recommend appropriate devices based on noise levels, job tasks, and worker comfort, and they train employees on proper use, maintenance, and storage to ensure effective protection on the job.
How long does it take to develop a hearing conservation program from scratch?
A basic program can typically be completed within a few weeks after initial noise monitoring data is collected. The exact timeline depends on facility complexity, workforce size, and how quickly scheduling can be coordinated for audiometric testing and training sessions.
Is OSHA's hearing conservation standard enforced in Arizona?
Yes. Arizona operates under a state OSHA plan administered by the Arizona Industrial Commission. Arizona's standards for hearing conservation are at least as protective as federal OSHA standards, and industrial employers are subject to inspection and citation for non-compliance.
