Thursday: hearing test

Today I took a hearing test in preparation for my new job. (Some workers are around loud noises a lot, so they want to get a baseline. I doubt I will be around loud noises that much, but they probably do it for everyone.) Anyway, I was put in a sound reducing booth and tones were put through headphones and I had to click when I heard a tone.

My biggest complaint? Most of the tones were quieter than swallowing, so I was trying not to swallow. So now I'm not sure if swallowing is really loud and we just don't notice it all the time or if my hearing is really good.
