My hearing is sub par and my hearing aids I paid $3000 for never worked right. I did not even have them in my ears when I took the test. It is on an I-pad and I told the woman I could not hear what it said. She said the volume was as high as it would go. So I was left to take a test that vocally explained the questions and I could hear none of it. In other words, I had no clue what they wanted me to do. So, I just tapped on things that popped up on the screen. I was laughing when the test was over and told my son they would think I am a blithering idiot. Imagine my surprise when I passed it with flying colors. It is the same test the orange idiot took and is soooooo proud of.
