Oh Yeah
They don't do that on our dot physical. We go into this little booth and put these earphones on and it plays beeps, we have this lil push button thing we push when we hear a beep in 1 of the earphones. Low beeps and higher beeps, always a guessing game on some of the super low beeps, never have heard anybody failing the hearing part of it lol.Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's UPS policy. You are now driving hearing inpaired if you are wearing headphones.
During your DOT physical, the doctor stands on the other side of the room and whispers in the other direction and you are expected to repeat what he/she says. Hearing is a relevant part of driving.
