There are many types of electric testers in use. One kind is a two contacts tester where there will be two connecting leads and one or more neon lamps to indicated the presence and approximate magnitude of test voltage. Here one contact is placed on the wire to be tested and the other lead is placed on the reference level like ground or other circuit parts.
Another kind is a one contact tester which usually is in the form of a screw driver. The end portion is placed in contact with the wire to be tested and the back of the tester is touched by a body part. A neon lamp inside the transparent tester body will glow if the wire is live. The lamp needs only very little electric current to glow that, it uses the capacitance and resistance of the human body to complete the circuit by making a current flow to the ground.

How are hearing tests carried out?
You sit opposite of the tester with a set of headphones on. The tester sends a series of low to high frequency's to the head phones and you indicate to the tester that you can hear them, with a nod or push of a button. The tester then works out what frequency's you could or could not hear to work out you hearing. The above is what i went through to get mine checked.

How do electrical testers work?
An electrical tester is tool used to check if a wire is producing an electrical current. Usually you will just hold it to the end of a wire, if an electrical current is being "induced" a light will glow on the tester, this is a live wire.
