      Loud music via headphones
      My long vision is bad so I need glasses and an eye test done.

      However due to my tinnitus and sensitive ears does anything with the test make loud noise?

      I just ask because during that test they have your face right up against that thing and was wondering if there’s any loudish clicks or bangs etc.... I usually wear earplugs going out but wouldn’t think I’d need to for this.

      I had an eye test about 1 month before T and i can‘t remember any noise. I had to do a reaction test where you need to spot small light points, eye pressure and normal vision check. I don‘t think you need earplugs. But maybe ask before the tests:)

      only if they do the air puff test, which they normally dont do. But ask to make sure.

      That is the eye pressure test right? It’s a very short burst of air into the eyes but that wasn‘t loud as far as i remember...

      But if you have doubts you could always wear plugs.

      Loud music/gigs probably
      That's not very loud and I wouldn't advise that you reject that test. It is to detect if glaucoma is present.

      It's a standard test in England at every eye test.
