Listening tests for blind candidates

How to test listening for visually impaired candidates?

Standard listening exams often require the candidate to read written information.  A few seconds later, at the same time as they listen they scan (read quickly for specific information)  the text again: this is a parallel process in which the brain combines the information. 

 

 

A visually impaired person cannot do this because Braille is read with the tip of one finger; the brain 'sees' only what is under that fingertip and cannot skim (read quickly for general idea) or scan Brailled text.
