UK Class 1 Medical - Functional Hearing Test

Hi All

Wondering if you can help / offer any advice.

I have a PPL, and recently obtained my Class 1 medical.

From birth I've had a hearing loss which is corrected by the use of (very small) in the ear canal hearing aids. My audiogram didn't quite reach class 1 standards, however I have completed a Functional Hearing Test (FHT) and obtained the class 1 off the back of this.

Under limitations, my class 1 medical states "SSL - FHT required within 3 months of renewal / re-validation medical" Does anyone foresee any issues with being able to obtain a commercial pilot job with this medical?

My hearing is static in respect of loss, with no deterioration in my adult life so far and hearing aid technology continues to progress at an extremely rapid rate, so I do not foresee any issues with future FHT results.

Thanks for your help in advance!
