I wouldn't quote me on any of this, but this is what i have learned over the last few weeks coz someone else asked me about this too:
USA
There a good number of deaf flight attendants in America. Regulations are different everywhere but over there there I know there were a couple of deaf girls who worked for Delta Airlines. From what one of the girls was saying, she feels like the airline tries to push them out every now and then, but they gave her the job so she's clearly capable.
Europe
From what I have been able to decipher, what they say is its all about safety. In an emergency, they want someone who passengers can understand and communicate well with, with no assistance or any issues. From the sounds of things, you would be fine. And when you apply, they do ask if you consider yourself to have a disability.
Middle East
I think this is where you might hit a brick wall. They are very particular and may well reject you on that basis.
Truth is, no one i've across here is in your position so no one can ever really answer your questions. I've tried but I wouldn't take it as gospel lol. I suggest you call the airlines before you apply. This is a tough enough process and the last thing you want is to make it through all the way to the end, get offered a job and then get rejected coz of a hearing test.
Best of luck to you, and please post in here when you know for sure. I'm sure it would be helpful to someone else in the future. xx |
