Audiogram Hearing Test

Service Description

Audiogram Hearing Test at DOT Express Las Vegas An audiogram hearing test is a critical evaluation used to measure a person’s ability to hear various sound frequencies. This test is often required for DOT physical exams to ensure commercial drivers meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) hearing standards for safe driving. At DOT Express Las Vegas, we provide accurate, professional hearing assessments to help drivers maintain their CDL certifications and comply with DOT regulations. What to Expect During the Audiogram Hearing Test An audiometric hearing test assesses hearing sensitivity by playing a series of tones at different frequencies and volumes. The test measures a person’s ability to hear both high-pitched and low-pitched sounds at various decibel levels. You will wear headphones or earplugs connected to an audiometer, a specialized machine that produces controlled sound frequencies. The test will play tones at different volumes, and you will indicate when you hear them. The results are plotted on an audiogram chart, which helps determine if there are any hearing deficiencies. Why Is an Audiogram Hearing Test Important? For commercial drivers, hearing is essential for road safety. The FMCSA requires that drivers be able to hear a forced whisper from at least five feet away or pass an audiometric test if the whisper test is failed. An audiogram provides a more precise measurement of hearing loss and can detect early signs of hearing impairment, allowing drivers to take necessary precautions. Who Needs an Audiogram Hearing Test? CDL drivers who do not pass the forced whisper test during their DOT physical. Individuals exposed to high-noise environments who need periodic hearing screenings. Anyone with concerns about hearing loss or difficulty understanding speech in noisy settings.
