I woke up this morning with pain on the left side of my face, near the left ear. A few minutes later, I started to experience minor hearing loss and pain inside of my ear. It feels like the kind of pressure sometimes caused when traveling on an elevator. Moving my head around seems to help a little, but the overall problem still persists. Please, help!!!

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.

I failed the hearing test due to hearing loss in my left ear. My recruiter told me he could get me a waiver for it and now i have to go on monday to see some kind of specialist for further testing or something. Does this mean I can still get in ? If it was too severe would they just have denied the waiver?
