Hearing Test

[poliphilo]

 I had my hearing tested yesterday.

You sit in a box with a glass window- a sort of man-sized microwave- and press a button every time you hear a beep through the earphones you've been fitted with. 

It could almost be mistaken for fun. 

The verdict is I have a degree of hearing loss- somewhere between mild and medium; nothing unusual for my age. It's not disabling and hearing aids are not recommended....

Sounds remarkably similar to the peripheral vision test I had to do, except only your head goes in the box and instead of beeps it's little points of light randomly coming from all directions. Rather like watching for shooting stars.

Eye tests are fun.

I've worn glasses since I was 20.
