Cabin Crew Aural Standards.

Hi everyone, I have a query coming from a cabin crew perspective. I have scar tissue in my left ear from regular infections as a child (I am now 22). Recently had a n audiogram which revealed I have approx 40% loss in my left ear.

Currently flying with an airline who never asked about the problem any further though I did disclose it to them. I have never had any problems with my ears at work. At the moment looking into changing airline but my application has been put on hold by them because of this and they said I may need a hearing aid. I am awaiting an ENT appointment to see if there is anything that can be done.

I am wondering if there is a set standard for cabin crew aural requirements and if so what it is or who sets it? Or does it vary from airline to airline?

Any information anyone can give me on this would be greatly appreciated
