Like was mentioned, the FAA doesn't really care about anything unless it's your noggin or sleep related (TBI, PTSD, Sleep apnea, etc). Tinnitus, aches, broken bones, neck problems, all the standard run of the mill things they don't care just that you disclose.
True for the most part, although they seemed very curious on my arthritis which has been documented for years. Just this summer they became very interested and requested immediate information on type, restrictions, range of motion evaluation, medications, etc. Maybe a ball dropped early on, but I do understand that it might be of interest if I needed a cane, walker, Segway scooter or something to get to my working seat. Paperwork/evaluations submitted and all is quiet on Middle TN front thankfully.
