Section VI – Hearing
Normal
Abnormal Hearing
Hearing Aid Required
If abnormal hearing or hearing aid required, perform audiogram or functional speech discrimination test.
An applicant with normal hearing does not need to complete either the audiometer test or the functional speech
discrimination test. The verifying medical practitioner, in consultation with any other healthcare provider he/she deems
appropriate, determines whether the audiometer and/or functional speech discrimination tests are necessary. If hearing is
abnormal or a hearing aid is required, refer to enclosure
(5) of NVIC 4-08
for guidance.
If audiometric testing is required, the audiometer test should include testing at the following thresholds, 500Hz, 1,000 Hz,
2,000 Hz and 3000 Hz. The frequency responses for each ear are averaged to determine the measure of an applicants
hearing ability. The Applicant should demonstrate an unaided threshold of 20dB in each ear.
