This whole hearing aid conversation has reminded me of what I do hate about going to an audiologist - the standard hearing tests have not changed in at least 35 years. It's still "raise your hand/press a buzzer when you hear the tone" and still "repeat back these disyllabic words to me," like hot dog, cupcake, airplane.

They should at least update the words for adults - "say the word mortgage," "say the word glassbowl," etc.
