My husband is deaf in one ear and has been all his life and we are planning on applying to EPIK for the August intake. Do you think he should declare it on his form or will EPIK be prejudiced against accepting him? I have heard that they do a hearing test as part of your medical when you get to Korea.

Will being deaf in one ear affect him getting a visa? Any advice that people can give would be really appreciated as this is really worrying us at the moment.

It is a non-issue.

The only thing immigration wants to know for your medical is that you are free from drugs and have no contagious diseases or STDs.
