    Hello, Dtrainc3 and Welcome to the Site:)

    In order to drive, Class A CDL, you would have to have a valid DOT Medical Card. If you cannot pass the hearing test then you would not be eligible to drive.

    I wonder if you could driver with the use of a hearing aid?

    Best to You!!!

    I really like Howard Transportation of N. Miss
    Check in our sub forum for trucking jobs:

    http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/trucking-jobs/]

    If you think that your hearing is still impaired even with the help of the hearing aids, then you should address that issue before it becomes a problem. JMHO

    Best of Luck!!!

    The problem I see is that you will have to pass another physical at any new company you hire on with, and that includes a hearing test.

    The requirements are listed in the FMCSR Physical qualifications for drivers § 391.41 (b) (11). If you meet these requirements then I don't believe any company should turn you down. I have seen years ago and it may be still there where you're required to carry a spare battery for your hearing aids. It would make sense because I sure wouldn't what to be liable for some accident then come to find out I couldn't hear.
