Hello everybody, Got a question. What if one where to fail there hearing test when doing their physical, would that disqualify them from driving? I heard somewhere that if one does not pass that then they will have you take test in sound room with the audio system? Personally I think the way they do it now with this whispering from a corner ridiculous and prehistoric. Would appreciate any comeback, thnx.

Not all exam does the typical whisper test. My last test, the woman just talk really soft the whole time while testing my blood pressure, hight, weight, eyes etc etc. At first I thought that how she was. Barely heard her with the other testing going around me. When I look at the paperwork later that day my first test was the whisper test. Maybe they do it that way to save time

I never could pass the whisper test, so I went to an audiologist, and spent $65 dollars for a hearing test, and when I take my physical, I just show them the paper from the doctor that I passed

Did my medical card in October the hearing test was the whisper when I went into the room to wait on the doctor the nurse started whispering all the commands to get undressed I thought maybe I was going to end up on pornhub video
About two weeks later I also did a physical to drive the shuttle bus as a volunteer at the VA thought it was funny that they gave me a ekg, actual audio hearing test and in depth physical but did not test me for diabetes or movementRoscopeco Thanks this. -
