I went to the specialist for my hearing. All my life I have had hearing problems. When I went to see(continued

the specialist he had a test where he held a metal fork type thing over my head after he made it start to vibrated (wacked it on his knee) and it was suposse to make a high pitch ringing and I didn't know that was what I was suposse to hear. When people talk or when he did that thing i just feel the vibration in my ears...I am not able to hear the sounds or words..(unless they talk louder) Why is this? If you think you have an answer but aren't really sure what I mean email me PLEASE!!! lol...

The metal thing is a tuning fork. When he whacked it, it made a tone, like pressing one key on a piano. You should have been able to hear it, not just feel it.

The fact that you couldn't hear it means you have some hearing loss in that range.

It's just one of many diagnostic tools that he can use to figure out exactly what you can hear and what you can't, and what (if any) hearing aid might help.
