Candidates with hearing difficulties
If candidates suffer from partial hearing loss and can hear with the help of headphones or special amplification equipment they may ask for permission to use this type of equipment when taking listening modules.
A lip-reading version of the Listening Module is also available in which the supervisor reads the listening texts to the candidate.
If candidates have severe hearing difficulties and the special arrangements described above are not sufficient, for example if they are unable to lip-read, they can apply for exemption from the Speaking and/or Listening Modules.
In this case, their Test Report Form will have the following statement printed on it:
'Due to extreme speaking and/or hearing difficulties this candidate was exempt from taking the Speaking and/or Listening Modules and the overall band score reflects this.'
NB: Candidates must apply for exemption before taking the IELTS test.
