<a>The above is what happened to me. I was absolutely terrified when the audiogram results came through, but from my experience these guys really DO want you to get through, and will be as helpful as is possible.</a>
Thanks for the input guys. I was also terrified when the audiogram came through. I had a few tests left after I got the audigram result, and I felt like a robot during the rest of the tests. I passed all the tests apart from the hearing. The EEG with all the wires connected to my head was quite amusing.
Anyway, now I realize that I had a bit of flu when I did the audio test. And also Mononucleose (that's a bad thing - you only have it once in a lifetime). So perhaps the result will be better when I go see the ear/nose/neck/ specialist.
I think I will get the class 1 medical. What I'm much more concerned about is the future audio tests. If I go for this education, will my hearing last until retirement age? If not, it must be a terrible depressive issue if it happens when I'm around 40-50 years old. I hold two Bachelor's degrees (Business Administration and IT). But these will be stoneage in 15-20 years. Nonetheless, they provide some sense of security though.
FliegerTiger - how old were you when you started your flight training and are you an employed professional pilot today?
