I would arque on teh last comment
Quote from CAA website:
Hearing
(Proposal by the UK)
Audiogram standards for the initial class 1 and initial instrument rating for class 2
There will be no difference between initial and revalidation/renewal class 1 audiogram requirements i.e. the requirement is now that there shall be no hearing loss in either ear tested separately of >35db in the 500-2000Hz range, and 50db at 3000Hz. This will also be the requirement for the issue of an instrument rating to a class 2 holder
Damn, I had 35dB at 4KHz and missed my chance
