Physical Exam by Companies

Do you have trouble hearing?The doctor will stand like 5 feet away and whisper and want you to repeat what he said.But he whispers loud enough that unless you re very much hearing impaired you'll be able to hear him.

 

Psst psst patt...can you hear this mr. Ms. John Doe jane doe?? Ok hearing test ova.lol

 

You should ask your recruiter, most medical exams are like this this. I have worked at two (2) companies and my company do real hearing test. I have never had a problem that could not be corrected. DOT does allow hearing aides.

 

They whisper loudly.Have someone do a whisper test on you before going.Maybe see your doctor and he can determine if you need a hearing aid or not.If you do not have a doctor then go to a walk in clinic.They're very affordable.

 

Ok, this is a valid question. The fact is, hearing in an 18 wheeler is not all that important. And It is. Most of the data you get is from your eyes. You have radios going, just mirrors to see 50 - 60 feet behind you. Can't hear anything back there anyway. You see all you can from your Cab. You feel your truck, & know when something's wrong. Hearing, Train Horns are a must. Trains always win. New Nice trucks are so well made today can't hear anyway. I prefer Clean glass, & spotless mirrors, too hearing everyday. But I also have a 4500 watt stereo in my truck.

 

Every company ive had a physical always gave me the forced whisper test.I figured DOT would allow hearing aides.Never heard otherwise.

 

True in a semi who needs to hear but what about the DOT weigh stations?
