I wanna thank this site and everyone for all the information and support i received. After sleepless nights of reading and thinking i decided to have an ear surgery on my left ear (mild hearing loss). After my hearing test this afternoon low and behold i have an H1 hearing on my left ear. I'm very excited and thankful. Is anyone here with the same case i had? What are the chances of getting accepted? Thanks for the continuous help.
Well,
If it's any consolation --
I had a tumor removed from inside my thick skull in Y2K on the left side. As a result, I am now deaf on the left and on a PCat with life-long MELs.
I'm still in and have deployed internationally a couple of times since (and been promoted a couple of times since). Originally, they had placed me below trade specs and "in violation of universality of service" requirements and that I would be released from the CF. Oddly enough, I received that notification -- while deployed. Upon visiting the MO in-theatre, the AdmO, and the TF Comd ... they all decided (agreeing with me) that it was pretty funny to have this as the verdict when the same Wg Surg who had made that recommendation to DMCARM -- had dagged me green for deployment AFTER making that observation and recommendation to Ottawa.
A flurry of phone calls from theatre making note of the fact that it was pretty funny for the med system to deem me "green for overseas deployment", but unfit for employment at a desk in Canada ... was pretty RTFOO 'er. By the time the TF Comd got off the phone -- it was a "forget last" ... and I haven't heard another word since.
I'm still here, still working, and have deployed yet again since all of that; so, I guess, I'm good to go.
I was already in the service though, and trained, when this occured.
I wouldn't worry about mild hearing loss - it's pretty common with certain trades in the CF.
Good luck with your application.
