Question about the hearing test on the physical

Huh? LOL
I passed it and I can't hear S##*, It was the blood pressure for me.....
It is amazing what those Quacks can fix! They do a forced whisper which is pretty loud actually. I was worried also but passed with no problem!

 

be carefull with your blod pressure when you go in. That is borderline for dot certification. used to be it was 160 over 90 was the limit but they have lowered it to 140/90. I just had to recert yesterday and mine came in at 124 over 91 but she gave it to me as 124/88 since I am sick. 6 years ago I failed the blod pressure uder the previouse rules. it came n at 190/110. I forget exactly how it went but something like they gave me a temp certification for tw weeks, put me on pills to get it nder contrll. then when it was checked again in two weeks they certified me for 6 months, then the tw year, or something to tht effect. it was a major pain. I have since lost weight and eat better and havn't been on pills in 4 years or so. I hate being saddled with having to take pills all the time.

the hearing test is a joke and the vision isn't much better. I wear glasses and I pass it without them, although I mainly wear them for night driving
