Can tinnitus prevent me from becoming an airline pilot?

Question

any other things to know which could prevent my dream

Answer 1

Tinnitus in and of itself should not.  The question is whether your tinnitus reflects some more serious condition.  Have a complete blood panel to eliminate suspicion of diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or other condition that might underlie tinnitus.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I'm sure you'll get responses from people who know better than I do but I think it's eyesight that's the main factor.  I had tinnitus for years until I started using garlic and niacin every day.  It took maybe six months to stop but it worked.

Answer 3

Some people with tinnitus have difficulty discerning certain

sound levels.  Being able to clearly and quickly understand ATC radio transmissions is crucial.  As long as you can pass the hearing exam and medical, you should be able to realize your dream.
