I doubt that you can get a waiver that would be valid for class-I but
not for class-III; as for hearing, there is a Deaf Pilots Association
(http://www.deafpilots.com/) which might disagree with your premise...



The FAA allows the use of Avandia, which is for the treatment of type II
diabetes. What is an absolute no-no (AFAIK) is any condition severe enough to
warrant the use of insulin.


Insulin users can get a waiver, but it takes a lot of paperwork and good
control. Met a guy with an accu-check yoke mounted!
