VA sent me to a contractor (LHI) for hearing test. The test results do not seem logical to me, i.e. loss of 59% hearing in both ears BUT scored 96% (exact same in both ears) on speech recognition test. I have trouble understanding people on television and people talking - I would guess I would be near 59% on both tests. Does it seem logical that anyone could have a 59% hearing loss yet understand 96% of speech?
I assume my best response to the denial is for me to have a private audiologist or ENT doc give me another test - does everyone agree with that?
