now, I wear hearing aids and can hear fine, they are open ear models so practically invisible to most outsiders. should I disclose this or would it hinder my chances? I have no other health issues and have not even missed a day sick I don't think.

thanks.!

STRONGLY suggest you reveal all and point out that you can hear just fine with the aid.

Not coming clean over something like that is something that they wouldn't take to kindly to if they discovered it at a crucial point in your job in 2 months time.

Having to hide this constantly from an employer would be stressful enough, as well as the stress of a new job.

Disclose it man. Seriously.

Is this definitely a legit deal?

I'd check the employment legislation of the country itself. If you can find the equivalent of www.citizensinformation.ie for that country, it might help you to see if you have a right not to disclose it.

I completed an assignment for this guy, a technical report on two patients he gave me. The role is a Engineering/Patient job so quite hush hush, and hence then eed for all the backround checks.

I got no idea on whether I should disclose this information, or If I have a leg to stand on?. I would have to get back to him on monday, as I need to dig up them technical papers he wants...

I do apologise if I'm wrong but it seems like to much information.

Its a legit job alright, the reason for all the questions is due to the Job being in Japan as they will provide flight, visa and relocation.

I have googled the persons name as he is a hiring attorney for the firm
