A Hearing Question

Hi I was thinking of being an Airline pilot (havent seen an AME doctor yet) but I cant hear at all from my left ear. I can hear perfectly fine from my right and can hear a conversation from 6 feet away. Was wondering if i could still be an airline pilot or not

Ian,

While you haven’t seen an AME yet you need to. EVERY case is different and whenever you’ve heard about a guy who was fine or one that wasn’t, doesn’t matter. The ONLY one who can tell you for certain is an AME.

Ian,

Unfortunately, we are not medical professionals and every case is different. As Adam said, you will want to visit an Aviation Medical Examiner stat to have this conversation.

In the meantime, I did a quick Google search for hearing requirements:
