Non, a hearing test involves EARS not eyes.

The test assesses the hearing in both ears
Hearing test are the most common tests involving the ears. These test determine whether someone has hearing loss and if so how much.
"Unremarkable bilaterally hearing" means that your hearing in both ears is normal and there are no notable issues or abnormalities detected during the hearing test. It indicates that your hearing is functioning within typical or expected ranges.
Optician gives you eye tests and your company doctor or local GP will test your hearing if you're worried about it Hope this helps!
Audiometry test is for hearing
A hearing test is a test where you might put on headphones and, in some cases, you will be told to listen and say e.g. beep when you hear a beeping noise. It just tests your hearing.
The primary diagnostic test used to measure hearing is an audiogram, which is conducted through audiometry. This test involves various sound frequencies and intensities to determine an individual's hearing sensitivity. Additionally, pure-tone audiometry is commonly used, where patients listen to tones at different pitches and volumes to identify the faintest sounds they can hear. Other tests may include speech audiometry and tympanometry to assess different aspects of hearing function.
A basic hearing test, often conducted by an audiologist, typically involves pure-tone audiometry, where the individual listens to a series of tones at different frequencies and volumes through headphones. The person indicates when they hear a sound, helping to determine their hearing sensitivity across various pitches. This test assesses the degree of hearing loss, if any, and can guide further evaluation or treatment options. Additional tests may be included to assess speech understanding and middle ear function.
A diplacusis test involves playing tones to each ear separately and asking the patient to identify if the tones sound the same or different. This test can help diagnose hearing disorders by identifying differences in how each ear perceives pitch, which may indicate issues with the auditory system.
