Class 1 Medical conditions

Hi Everyone,

I too suffer from excessive tinnitus.

Like rmcb i spent the majority of my youth blowing up parts of the UK (same cap badge but i ended up with a white cover on my hat), and i managed to get a class 2 medical.

My questions is more out of curiosity. From what i remember, If you require glasses to fly, you can hold a class 1 medical if you have a spare pair with you.

What is the ruling with hearing aids? Unfortunately i am now getting to the stage of needing to wear them more and more, with them on i have bat like hearing. If you can get a pass on your medical wearing glasses, why not with hearing aids?

For those that don't know the new generation of hearing aids are bluetooth compatible to various audio outlets, and a so small as to be virtually unnoticeable.

Thanks,

Andy
