Hi
does any one know if you would be exempt from working in the mines ( above ground) if you have a small degree of hearing loss
cheers

Re: hearing loss and mining
I suffer from industrial deafness and I've worked for several mining companies over the years without any problems.
The medical will vary from company to company, some demand hearing tests and some don't. Almost all of them will demand Drug and Alcohol tests.
I believe that the hearing test is mainly to determine your hearing ability before starting work for the company, in case of later compensation claims.
Best of luck with the job.
