CDL Hearing Tests and FMCSA-Compliant Hearing Aids
Helping Truck Drivers Stay Compliant, Confident, and On the Road
If you're a commercial driver in Tennessee, failing the hearing portion of your DOT physical can feel like hitting a wall. But there's good news: you may still qualify to drive with the right hearing help and we’re here to provide it.
At Volunteer Hearing, we offer CDL hearing evaluations and FMCSA-compliant hearing aids for truck drivers across the state. Whether you're based near Knoxville or just passing through, our locations ready to serve working drivers quickly, legally, and respectfully.
FMCSA Hearing Requirements: Know the Rules
To hold a valid CDL under FMCSA regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11), you must:
Hear a forced whisper from at least 5 feet away in one ear (with or without hearing aids), OR
Score 40 decibels or better in your better ear on a formal audiometric test (with or without hearing aids)
If you fail the whisper test, you’re not disqualified. You just need:
A proper hearing evaluation from an audiologist
FMCSA-compliant hearing aids (if needed)
Proof of results to provide to your DOT examiner
We handle all of this from the start to finish.
