Question:
What has happpend to my ear?
All last year, and now I listen to my ipod everyday. I also play guitar quite often. I don't think I keep none of these object to loud, sometimes the ipod, but never ever have the ipod on full blast, nor my guitar amp. I can hear well out my left ear, and my right ear just feels all stopped up and can't here like my left eye. I can feel I her more on my left ear than right. I wonder how did that occur, because when I was younger, I had perfect hearing. I'm studying Japanese, and I wanna be a pilot. Japanese to me I can understand, but they talk so fast, I want to be able to understand. As far as me being a pilot, I want to know if I can still get a class 1 medical certificate? What has happend to my ear to. I cleaned it quite well, and there is no wax in it.

Talk to a doc. You may have hearing loss, you may have a disease, you may need meds or treatment...you won't know until you see a doc.
Don't put off getting treatment because you think it'll keep you from passing a physical. My dad did that for a really long time because he knew he had a bleeding ulcer and it would blow his physical, and he could have gotten treatment a long time ago and saved himself a lot of misery.
If your health truly keeps you from passing a physical, then you'll have to find something else to do. Don't resist treatment because of that--you may well pass a physical, and you'd be stupid not to get a condition treated because being healthy is more important than flying.
