Class 2 ppl hearing standards?
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what's involved with the ppl medical examination with regards to hearing? Many years ago I did hold a class one medical, in the hope of going commercial but alas it never came to fruition.
Regards
Dave

I had my initial class 2 last week, and for the hearing part the AME stood a couple of metres behind me and continued talking while getting me to cover each ear in turn and repeat what he had said.

When I did mine (probably just less than a year ago) the medical examiner just told me to face the other way. He then asked me to cover each ear in turn and repeat some numbers he read out.
It was certainly not a test of 'good hearing' but to confirm you were hearing what he said and not guessing or lipreading.
It was really basic. If you fail then you would probably have to be referred to get hearing aids or similar.
