Community Member Posts: 1 Listener
hi I’m due a pip assessment from DVLA to ppl however I have been told by my ent doctor that a hearing aid would not benefit me in 1 ear but might have a slight benefit to my other ear. Would I receive any points for this or must I have 2 hearing aids despite it being deemed useless? Please help

Hi @joe1 and welcomeWhat is the reason why you only need one hearing aid ?Normally you need to be using aids in both ears to receive any points, However, is it the case that you are profoundly deaf in one ear to the extent that it would make no difference ?0
