Aviation Medical Hearing Tests for Pilots & Air Traffic Controllers
45-60 minutes | Comprehensive CASA-compliant evaluation with detailed report for your DAME
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requires aviation personnel to meet specific hearing standards to ensure safe flight operations. Effective communication in the cockpit and with air traffic control is essential for aviation safety.
At Hearing Care Caloundra, we provide comprehensive hearing assessments designed to support your CASA medical certification process. Our evaluations follow CASA guidelines and provide the detailed audiometric information required by Designated Aviation Medical Examiners (DAMEs).
Important: This assessment provides audiometric data to support your aviation medical certification. Final certification decisions are made by CASA and your Designated Aviation Medical Examiner (DAME).
CASA sets specific hearing thresholds for different certificate classes. These standards help ensure aviation personnel can effectively communicate and respond to auditory cues during flight operations.
Note: Individual circumstances vary. Your DAME will assess your overall suitability based on comprehensive medical evaluation.
Aviation experience, noise exposure from aircraft engines, use of hearing protection, and previous hearing concerns.
Visual inspection of ear canals and eardrums, checking for wax buildup or abnormalities.
Comprehensive hearing threshold testing with results plotted on audiogram for CASA requirements.
Speech reception threshold testing and word recognition assessment in quiet conditions.
Middle ear function assessment, eardrum mobility testing, and detection of middle ear conditions.
Comprehensive audiometric results and audiogram suitable for DAME review with professional interpretation.
If your hearing meets CASA requirements, we provide a complete audiometric report for your DAME, audiogram documenting your hearing thresholds, and professional summary of findings.
