unilateral hearing lost

by Sel_09

I am a newly RN in my country and planning to migrate in US or maybe in Europe to work there.. but sad to say my right ear can not hear.. its only my left ear that can hear.. Sometimes im having trouble looking in for the direction from which i have heard the sound.. hello dear co-nurses can you give me some advice or infos.. what is the best area or specialization in nursing that does not or slightly affected by having this hearing impairment... Do you think this will give me a serious problem someday if i'll going to have my medical exam regarding my application/immigration?

Welcome

It shouldn't affect your immigration but it may affect employer and their requirements.

I am near deaf in one ear. It has never been an issue for my career. Good luck!
