Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common, and preventable, occupational injuries in manufacturing.
We build structured hearing conservation programs in Ontario specifically for automotive and industrial employers in Kitchener-Waterloo. Our proactive approach helps safety managers improve workplace compliance, reduce WSIB risk and lower long-term compensation claims.
We support employers in building structured hearing programs that improve compliance, reduce exposure risk, and protect employee health in high-noise environments.
Who We Work With
Industrial Hearing Safety Programs for High-Risk Workplaces
We partner with HR managers, health and safety coordinators, and operations leads Kitchener-Waterloo where noise exposure is an unavoidable part of daily operations and hearing protection needs to be managed consistently. Our programs are specifically designed for the demands of:
Trusted by Industry Leaders
At Discover Hearing Centre, we provide occupational hearing services to established organizations in the region, including Mercedes-Benz. We understand the rigorous workplaces safety standards required by top-tier automotive manufacturers, and we deliver that same level of compliance to your facility.
For most employers, the challenge is not awareness; it’s implementing a reliable system in place that guarantees consistent testing, proper protection, and audit-ready documentation shift after shift.
Our Services
Complete Workplace Hearing Conservation Programs
We provide end-to-end workplace hearing conservation programs that combine baseline testing with high-compliance protection, managed by our dedicated hearing specialists.
Occupational Hearing Tests
We provide structured occupational hearing tests in Kitchener for employees exposed to hazardous workplace noise. Whether you need on-site mobile testing or clinic-based assessments, our programs help employers.
These programs help employers:
- Establish baseline hearing levels for new employees
- Conduct annual or scheduled WSIB hearing tests in Kitchener
- Maintain compliance-ready documentation for safety audits
- Support HR and safety reporting requirements
- Conduct on-site or clinic-based testing
Custom hearing protection for industrial workers
Standard disposable earplugs often fail to deliver consistent compliance because they are uncomfortable during long shifts. We design custom-moulded hearing protection in Waterloo that workers actually want to wear.
Custom protection offers:
- Better fit and comfort: Custom moulds eliminate ear fatigue during 8- to 12-hour shifts
- Higher compliance: When protection is comfortable, workers use it properly in real-world conditions.
- Cost efficiency: Reusable custom protection lasts for years, drastically lowering your annual PPE spend compared to daily disposable plugs.
- Improved consistency: Improved protection consistency across shifts
We focus on solutions workers actually use in the field, not just what is issued on paper.

Kathy Payette
Fantastic service! Luc really knows his stuff and he helped me take a different, more preventative approach to something that was going on with my ear - and the problem fixed itself before it became a much bigger problem. Many thanks!
Kirsten Loop
I took my 95 year old mother, who has significant dementia, for a hearing assessment. Luke was amazingly kind, patient, personable and professional for the assessment and followups. And his office is wheelchair accessible. The best!
Deb Gem
Luc and student Gemma took the time to explain each test before completing them. They gave me the opportunity to ask questions about my hearing. I recommend going to Discover Hearing Centre for your hearing needs.
