Glad to hear you now have a class 2 medical - albeit somewhat surprised, since the rules say that even class 2's need to be able to communicate, and from what you've said radio telephony is going to be a nightmare, even if it's possible at all.
Profound Hearing Loss (Class 2)
Class 2 applicants who are or become completely deaf may be considered for certification with special restriction of ‘SSL’ – ‘no flights to or from airfields where ATC is provided by radio and remain outside controlled airspace’.

Medical Class 2
Thanks to Ulster, good point!! Can your daughter speak! what it is BAHA's ?
Yes i suppose to say 'lipreading'. I should also have said good not excellent lip speaking.
Yes English is my only language and i know i need to correctly my grammar but back in the 80s was old days and teacher weren't that good teach us to be a better grammer. I'm just trying my best. Yes Class 2 do need to be able to communication but therefore it does say how much you can hear the sound in distance. not just the radio. Class 2 have a limited what can do access without need of radio. also it mention about the healthy of heart and eye sight too.
Can you maybe correct me from this thread referred to my appearing! I don't seem that i made such error thread even i do not want to thread just asking query.
Oh thank you i do want to fly as much i can just got to find a scholarship to get me starting flying. as you know flying training isn't cheap! also i loves be up the air but hate the examiner not very good due tricky question trying to confusing mind! dislike exam... it is not my strong point as i do get very nervous and ending up either fail or worse lower point.... need a good understanding teacher!!!
