I've searched the forum for anything similar to this but I didn't find it, so please bear with me! I want to become a Navy pilot or NFO. I would like to know if this disqualifies me: my hearing in my left ear is perfect, but I am completely deaf in my right ear. (It's sensorineural deafness which means I cannot use a hearing aid because there is no hearing in that ear to aid.) To be clear, I have no problems hearing and communicating with people, the only problem would be if I was listening to a headset and sound was only playing in my right (deaf) side and not on my left side. In aircraft that Navy pilots fly today, do you need to listen to different messages in your right and left ears? What about NFOs? Is there any differentiation in the communication systems in that regard between different types of fighter aircraft? I qualify for the Navy in every other way - I am healthy with no heart problems or other issues, I have good eyesight, I have a high GPA, etc. I would very much appreciate any information anyone has about whether Navy pilots/NFOs need to listen to different messages in their right and left ears, or pointers in the right direction.
