New Brunswick Social Development uses this hearing examination report when a social assistance applicant or client aged 18 or older asks to be certified as deaf. The report travels with a Certification Check Sheet to the Medical Advisory Board, which verifies whether the hearing results meet the policy definition. Certification in the Deaf category is permanent once granted.
Policy 1.2 says the report is completed by the appropriate practitioner, without naming a profession. The applicant signs an Authorization To Receive Information form, and district staff complete the Certification Check Sheet.

This form isn’t published as a fillable PDF. Vero Scribe writes the visit note it draws on, so the details are ready when you complete it.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms change without notice, so download the current version from the official page before you fill it in.

The policy terms describe an average air-conduction hearing threshold of 90 decibels or worse in the better ear plus a bone-conduction threshold of 60 decibels or worse, or being unable to repeat more than 40% of standardized words after word recognition testing, as verified by the Medical Advisory Board.
The decision cannot be appealed through the Department of Social Development. A case manager who believes the definition was met can contact the Board's Secretary to ask for a review; otherwise, the person must wait six months before reapplying unless their medical condition changes significantly.
