Medical Class 1 & being half "deaf" in one ear

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has experience with being half deaf in one ear, for the medical class 1? It isn't completely deaf, just everything is quieter in that ear.

I read somewhere that the test is basically to ensure you can hear a conversation from 2 meters away, which I can easily do. The only real issue I have is pretty much unable to use a phone, or headphones (etc) only in that ear, it is just too quiet

(Unluckily for me, the only frequencies are "bad" are the ones used for normal speach...)

I will get a medical class 1 before doing any training further than for ppl, but was just wondering what the opinion in here would be.
thanks
