Work Medical: Hearing Aids

LegacyUser · 2009-07-08 12:10:34

I got a medical coming up for a role, I use hearing aids, will these be a problem for the medical.? I got no other problems so expect to pass the med no bother. Do they test hearing even.. ta!

The army does the hearing tests. For a business, can't see them giving a sh|t if you have one, unless you make a big deal of it, or do something stupid, like not wearing them.

It would depend entirely on the medical and the job. Similarly to eyesight, I'd expect there to be a question about it on the list but there not be any tests unless it's an important criteria for the job. Generally, I wouldn't expect it to pose any problems once you have adequate hearing function with the aids.
