Question About Hearing Tests

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I went to see the education psychologist and had a test for Dyslexia. He explaiend that he may have a problem testing me because I'm visually impaired.

Apparantely, there's nothing wrong, but my vocabulary isn't that good. (I don't read a lot)

He asked me if I've ever had a hearing test and whether I've had problems with my ears. I told him I've only had problems with blocked ears.

Anyway, how do I go about getting them tested? And what happens in the test?

    Possibly speak to your GP who can refer you to a specialist?

    I had a hearing test when i was an ickle girl, and i remember them playing beeps at different frequencies and you had to say if you could hear them. I dont know how much its changed though...

    I had a hearing test for work last year and it was conducted at a throat, nose and ear unit at one of the hospitals.

    They inspected my ears and then also put me into a box with headphones on and played stuff for me and asked me to repeat the words said and boring stuff like that. I also had to push some button when I heard a sound.

    I recently had a hearing test, I was refered thru my gp, it took about 5 months to get an appointment thou.

    The test consisted of different beeps at different tones and you had to press a button when you heard them. They then asked me to press the button when the noise was too much of my ears.

    They also examined my ears and I was given my results there and then.
