Did a search, but didn't locate any threads on this subject.
A local kid (I call him "a kid" but he's just a kid to me, maybe late 20's) and I got to talking the other day. He mentioned how he always dreamed of getting his pilot's license but he felt his hearing loss was keeping that dream from happening. I told him the good news that hearing loss doesn't necessarily stop one from becoming a pilot, and how there is a private pilot where I hangar that has significant hearing loss (actually seems this pilot is way worse off than this kid), and he seems to do just fine.
He was happy to get this news, but then he mentioned that he also has mild cerebral palsy. I see this kid moves/walks/drives a car/speaks without apparent limitation. Anyone have any idea what it would entail for him to get a class 3?
