Class 1 medical hearing loss.

Wynnie12

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help regarding the renewal of a class 1 medical.

I've been basically refused the issue of a medical cert as my right ear has dropped out of the limitations for certification.

I have had ongoing problems with my ears from a young age which I have always been up front with when having my medicals. I do have a perforation in my right ear which will require surgery to fix.

Quote from CAA medical department

"For only revalidation or renewal, greater hearing loss can be recertified following demonstrated satisfactory functional hearing ability.
My question is, should I not still be issued a class 1 medical once I can"

Should I still not be issued my class 1 once I can demonstrate above?

Any advice would be much appreciated,
Paul

Speak to the IAA/CAA directly and ask them. Strangers on the internet cannot give you a definitive answer.

Have been on to them alright. Suppose I'm just looking to see if anyone has had a similar problem as I await their response.
