Be sure to let us in the cab for a peek.
Do share your experience when you are training. -

On 16 Apr,i went to Bishan to attend an interview for TO post.I had hearing problem since young & i did wear Hearing-aids on both ears.After filling up the form,i went to the counter to get a q number.When the staff saw me wearing hearing aids,she said i can't apply for TO cos' of my hearing..She instead offer me the Technical Officer,RSD post since i had NITEC in Electronics..
I really2 want to be a TO & now my dream is shattered..Why can't they give people like me a chance to prove to others that we can perform our duty well despite our disabilities??
Since then, i had applied to be a Train Captain for Sentosa Express & now waiting for news from them..

Not to offend you, but could it be the job scope requires constant hearing for things in the TO cabin and especially in the dark tunnels, and thus, does not allow TO with hearing disability?

huh? Like that one ar? So, it means that the TO can go drive the Circle and EWL / NSL meh? Or did you mean, either NSL or EWL, which is assigned randomly.

But u never know if u never try right??i thought it is very quiet when u are inside the cabin??
By the way, TO is for NSL/EWL. CSO is for CCL..

Maybe, I am too influenced on the CSO in NEL / CCL and everytime see the staff take a walkie talkie hearing things in tunnel (I noe TO cabin no walkie talkie), and hence, I think SMRT should have stated this hearing requirement clearly and stating the reasons of such, in order to have potential candidates not to shattered their dreams at the last moment.

I believe that SMRT refused the application is based on safety reason as well. Yes trying is no harm but driving a train at times will need superb concentration and well senses. Although being hearing impaired, it doesn't mean you cannot operate other machineries.
I am sure that train officers in other countries, especially high speed trains, require good hearing, besides sight and superb motor movements (hands, legs and coordination).
Don't give up, you may find your dream job, perhaps not now but I hope very soon~!
