ayz33 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hey all, couldn't really find anything much on this. Is any amount of cauliflower ear DQ for pilots? Does it matter at all unless it affects hearing? Been training jiu-jitsu and wondering if i need to start using ear protection for this reason. Thanks!

brabus Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Unknown, but regardless, doesn't it make sense to wear ear/cranium protection? One concussion, one ruptured ear drum, etc. may be all it takes to DQ you from flying. This is like when I finally decided in college to stop doing big jumps, etc. on snowboards after watching a few guys get pretty jacked up...wasn't worth more than my dreams of flying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger41 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I know plenty of former wrestlers with cauliflower ear who are pilots. I wouldn’t worry about it if you’ve already got it. If you don’t have it, might as well prevent it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
