I am looking into applying for a disability pension and there seems to be
some confusion on a ****tion of my hearing tests. I scored under 40 % for
speech discrimination in my better ear, which qualifies one for a full
disability.
Are amplified headphones without your hearing aids considered valid for
this
purpose?
The person doing the test wrote a note saying speech comprehension 76%
"aided". I was not wearing my aids during the whole test but at one point
she allowed me to read her lips. I believe this was "aided" part she was
referring to. Is this test valid?
Thanks.
