Hearing Testing is Tossing Out Veteran Police

The NYT is reporting on the NYC police department and it's policy on hiring: if you can't pass a hearing test you will not be hired as a police officer. The department has allowed officers to wear hearing aids and even pay for them at times but this is not the official policy. In 2009 they started  enforcing a ban on hearing aids effectively pushing out the older officers who then would tell others not to wear them to work.2 have already filed a complaint with the EEOC   stating that the policies are discriminatory.
