Don't forget that the initial requirements for hearing is going to be relaxad in November. The initial is going to be the same as the renewal requirement (35db)

I would arque on teh last comment

Quote from CAA website:
Hearing
(Proposal by the UK)
Audiogram standards for the initial class 1 and initial instrument rating for class 2
There will be no difference between initial and revalidation/renewal class 1 audiogram requirements i.e. the requirement is now that there shall be no hearing loss in either ear tested separately of >35db in the 500-2000Hz range, and 50db at 3000Hz. This will also be the requirement for the issue of an instrument rating to a class 2 holder


Damn, I had 35dB at 4KHz and missed my chance

if you have 35db loss att 4khz it should not be any problem with old requirements?
