Default hearing

sir,
i aspire to become a pilot, i just got my class2 medical done and my hearing average was 40db, i wanted to know whether i'll clear my class 1 medical with this hearing power? will my ambition to become a pilot end here because of my hearing loss?
i'll be glad if my query is cleared

If you have hearing loss and fail parts of the audiogram, you will still be ok if you can:

"Demonstrate hearing of an average conversational voice in a quiet room, using both ears at 6 feet, with the back turned to the examiner."



Can you hear a guy speaking from 6 feet behind you?



If you can, you'll pass and get a normal 1st class medical with no restrictions.

Cherokee Cruiser is correct. I almost never perform an audiogram.
