I’m interested in becoming an air traffic controller however I was reading the medical requirements and it said that I would have to have a hearing loss of no greater than 25 dbs in a variety of frequencies. I’m functionally deaf in my left ear but my right ear is fine and no one can tell without me telling them. Not sure if appeals for this kind of hearing loss is considered.

basically as above. I think I have about a 15Db loss in hearing at some of the higher frequencies in my left ear only. What amount of hearing loss is acceptable to get the class 1 medical required to do the commercial pilots licence? Thanks.
