Reduced Hearing on Landing?
Advice please. I'm a PPL and I tend to find after a hour or so at 5,6,7000 feet my hearing is noticably reduced by the time I cross the threshold. It's not so bad that I can't hear the ATC or passengers etc., just noticable. As an example, I can hear my mobile phone ring in my flight bag across the room at the pilots lounge before I take off. After returning I'd have to have it with me to have a chance of hearing it and would turn up the speaker volume for that 'post flight' call. Then a good yawn usually does the trick and I'm back to normal.
I plan to go commercial, but my worry is that this could preclude me. Any advice?
