How is the hearing test? A friend of mine is all OK with everything else, but her left ear is well.... a little hard of hearing. She doesn't have problems in the cockpit, and it's never really been picked up on with her FAA medicals, but during her JAA Medical, she had to do the hearing portion on 3 different occasions as her left ear was a little weak. She made my excuses (been swimming on first occasion, recovering from cold on 2nd occasion, and finally got through it on her 3rd occasion).

She's planning to get her ears syringed in a week or so just to clear/clean out any 'gunk' she may have in there to improve her chances - but just wanted to see if she'd be not offered a position if her left ear was deemed to be a bit weak.
