Guidance Q&A
Question: When is audiometry required?
Guidance: A medical examiner may require a driver to have an audiometry test. If the driver fails the whisper test, the driver must pass an audiometer test to be qualified to drive a CMV.
Office audiometry is not able to test a person with a hearing aid. The person needs to be referred for accurate testing.
