Hearing is a PennDOT medical criterion for school bus drivers only, and this otological form is how a provider documents a school bus driver's hearing under 67 Pa. Code 71.3. PennDOT's Bureau of Driver Licensing uses it to decide whether the driver meets school bus driver standards. PennDOT's Medical Reporting Forms page lists it as DL-127, Hearing Impairment.
The treating physician or other health care provider examining the school bus driver completes the whole form, and PennDOT requires the person who performs the hearing test to certify that the driver passed it.
