Well, I finally applied a couple weeks ago and I had my aptitude test today AND the first part of my medical. The second part of my medical is next Tuesday. I passed the CFAT, but not sure what I got since they won't give the scores out because they don't want anyone to be better than others. They then checked my eyes to see if I was colour blind, checked my pulse and did my blood pressure. That was all good. Then I went for the eye test and passed that with flying colours and right after, I did the hearing test.... This is the thing I knew that would screw me over for sure because I was born with high frequency hearing loss. Anyways, I got out of the booth which was equipped with really crappy headphones and they were very uncomfortable, also you can hear sound if you don't concentrate hard enough because the booth really isn't sound proof and they let you know prior to the test. Oh ya, anyways, I got out of the booth and said "man, I thought I was hearing things" and the doctor (I assume?) said I have "extreme hearing loss".... She pretty much insulted me and said "normal people" hear these tones at 0 decibels and here you are at 10, 20, 30 +... I think I remember seeing 75, 95 and a couple other high numbers in there. I was definitely not expecting this. Anyways, this really sucks, but I don't want to quit on my application because she gave me a medical release form to take to the doctor's so he/she can book me for an appointment with an audiologist I presume so they can then fill out the form and I fax it back to them. For now, I just wait to go to my second part of the medical next Tuesday.
What are your thoughts on this? Can hearing completely terminate your application?
Thanks
Also, sorry if this does not sound too clear, my grammar/puntuation is a lot better than this. It should be since I'm a university student. This situation is a pain.
