I’m 19 and a Paralegal in the U.S. Army. I have a decent amount of hearing loss in my left ear and may need a hearing aid in the near future. Other than this hearing issue im in good shape. I may not re-enlist and am trying to keep my options open but do not want to make an unnecessary break in service if I can avoid it. Please only serious and experienced opinions. Thank You!

Does anyone know if a hearing problem can ommit you from becoming a Police Officer?

frogigger2002 asked:


My son is wanting to become a police officer, he has hearing loss in one of his ears, can this ommit him from being a police officer? Would like to know before he starts school.

If I have a partial hearing loss in 1 ear can I still pursue a career in law enforcement as a police officer?

JD asked:


Would certain branches be off limits, such as special forces (narcotics, etc)? I do well in classes and I’m in very great shape, I just have partial hearing loss in my left ear. If I were denied a career, would I be able to fix it with surgery or a hearing aid? I haven’t worn one since I was 6, but nobody can even tell that I have a hearing loss unless I say something about it

How to find out the hearing appointment date if I lost it?

Basically, The traffic light was green, the pedestrian tried to cross the road but I didn’t stop. The officer pulled me over and gave me a citation. Now, I lost the hearing letter so I need to find out when and where I see the magistrate.

Does anyone know? The citation was somewhere around Worcester, MA. Thank you.

Can I be a police officer with hearing loss?

Can I be a police officer with hearing loss?

I have serve to profound hearing loss. However, it hasn’t been much of a bother. I’m really good at communication, hearing others in loud background, and I read lips very well. Is there a chance I can become a police officer? Please tell me honestly, I’ll accept the truth no matter how difficult it is.

Can someone with a slight hearing loss become a cop?

Joey asked:


I am extremely determined to become a cop. I think I have all the successful qualities that make a good police officer, but I have “a little problem.” I am naturally born with a hearing loss. I’m seeking an A.S. in criminal justice and possibly a B.S.. Does anyone know if someone like myself, can get hired as a cop regardless of a minor disability?
