Failed DOT Med Cert for whisper test

Gator fans going deaf isn't a medical issue. It's the universe telling them to change their ways. Go Vols.

 

For what it is worth, I enjoy this doctor's videos. It's no cost to you, anyway. Hope it helps.

 

Your not wrong and i wont argue the point that the law applies to all. Like i said if i get nailed i gets what i get and ill deserve it. But yea ive tryed most prevenitive stuff.....it mostly doesnt work or only helps a little. The mineral oil one was especially bad though. i actully ended up in the hospital with an infection that had pus and blood filled cysts that ended up in the bone. It also made me blind in one eye for almost a month and i still havent recovered full vision im that eye 10 years later, 20/65 without glasses. Have had tinnitus since too as a consolation prize. Been somewhat reluctant to try that kinda thing again lol.

 

I didn't mention it, but I was assuming your ear infections were in the external ear/ear canal. I wouldn't even know what to do about an ear infection on the other side of the eardrum. I have been using a nasal sinus rinse and I've stopped getting my customary once/twice per year sinus infection which always felt like a terrible sore throat, but was a sinus infection. It's cheap, effective, but it requires keeping the the squirt bottle and materials surgically sterile or you will cause yourself an infection at the top of your sinuses/bottom of your brain which is very bad. I've used the NeilMed Sinus Rinse kit, costs $12. If you ever seen the TV commercial about a device called Navage Sinus Rinse, costs $100, it does the same thing. With either device you use distilled water (no substitute) and some table salt about the size of 1 or 2 aspirin tablets. It washes all of the mucus from your sinuses and anything in that mucus. I spent a lot of time as a kid swimming and remember how it cleaned out my sinuses. A sinus rinse 2-3 times per week removes what could grow into an infection. I don't know if that would help with ear infections like you described.

 

Perhaps you should have paid someone off as well?

 

If the doctor that is doing your physical for your DOT medical card and is standing behind you and is whispering they are not correctly doing the hearing test. The FMCSA test is to be performed by standing beside the person no less than 6 feet. The person being tested covers their opposite ear. The tester then exhales slowly and as their last breath whispers a word. The same is repeated for the opposite side. Research the test.

 

Is that done to your benefit or the Dr’s to fail you ? When mine is done, they literally stand behind me and whisper the city I’m in, in one ear and the state in thee other. I’ll turn around and say, that’s not loud enough your mumbling, they end up passing me. There very lenient where I go.

 

When I get my med card renewed I always go to a chiropractor. He will ask me to cover one ear then stand about 6 feet behind me and talk normally a number then do the same for the other ear. The reason I posted the FMCSA rule is because some testers will stand across a room and barely whisper. If a person believes that the test is not being done correctly then maybe something needs to be said. It’s up to the person being tested. Just my opinion.

 

Same here.
