NoiseDose
Indicative noise dose monitoring, from the microphone every worker already carries on their wrist. NoiseDose tracks cumulative exposure against the WHS standard and tells you exactly who needs a formal assessment next.
The regulatory drivers, plainly
Noise-induced hearing loss rarely reaches a courtroom. The cost shows up later: a workers-comp claim, a premium loading, or a regulator improvement notice, sometimes years after the exposure happened. The evidence gap is the same either way: a policy that existed, and a hazard nobody actually measured.

Noise-induced hearing loss sits among the largest long-tail categories in Australian workers comp, at around 30% of all comp claims.
Triage first, formal assessment second
Most workplaces run noise assessment episodically: a hygienist or a hired dosimeter for one week a year, then a report that ages in a drawer. NoiseDose runs continuously in the background, so instead of guessing which sites or shifts need a formal assessment, you know before you book one.
When a worker’s indicative dose sits near or above the exposure standard, that’s the trigger for a Class 2 dosimeter placement or a hygienist visit: the formal, calibrated measurement that goes in the file next to Exposia’s own record.
Audiometric testing, targeted
Annual audiometric testing runs at roughly $60–100 per worker, across the whole workforce, on a fixed schedule regardless of actual exposure. NoiseDose’s dashboard ranks workers by cumulative dose, so testing spend follows exposure instead of a calendar, and the audit trail shows why each worker was prioritised.
Where NoiseDose doesn’t fit yet
A wrist-worn sensor can’t see 140 dB(C) impulse peaks the way a chest-mounted dosimeter can. For heavy construction and mining impulse-noise environments, NoiseDose isn’t the right tool. We say so upfront rather than sell into a gap we can’t measure.
