Thanks for the quick answer Jumbo93!

I'm glad you were able to keep flying the dream. I did not know we were authorised to wear hearing aids, but that certainly keeps my hopes up. It makes sense, if we compare it to wearing glasses, which is also allowed up to a limit.

I also use both ear plugs whenever I'm in a noisy environment, so I don't worsen my condition... I want to keep the odds high. My ENT doctor and my AME both warned me about general audition getting worse with age, but if I take care of it, I may be able to make it last.

Since my audiogram has stayed the same in a 1-year period, I think I will risk it. Audiograms are only repeated each 5 years for the Class 1 Medical, as far as I know... To fly is my dream since a very young age.
