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!

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.

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.
