JD asked: I know that jobs would be limited, but the U.S. Military is something that I’d really like to be a part of. I’m in good shape and everything, and I’m not required to wear glasses. The only thing bringing my down is a 50%+ hearing loss in my left ear.

Matt asked: i have a sloping hearing loss in my left ear only, which means that certain frequencies at certain volumes i can not hear in my left ear. i don’t no the exact details about it but i can hear pretty much everything at a normal volume. My question is what are the guidelines for joining the military, what kind of tests do they do when trying to join?

Baseball guy asked: My right ear is totally fine. The issue comes from my left ear. One of the Physician at MEPS told me, that it takes from 3 to 4 days to get answer. I Dont know how accurate is that.

adam o asked: I saw a doctor about 4 months ago, he gave me a hearing test, and concluded that I do have normal hearing in my right ear. I also found out that I have hearing loss in my left ear. I can hear low and midrange frequencies, but not high frequencies in just that ear. I hope this doesn’t effect me going into the air force. I wanted to get a job in computer programming.
does the air force even test hearing?

Joseph asked:
I worked on the flight line in the military and suffered hearing problems after discharge. Time in service was 1961 to 1965 and the protection they issued was not adequate. Anyone else have that same problem?

When you need a hearing aid after being in the Army eight years and deploying four times, does that count as a disability?

I’m confused, the person my son spoke to made it sound like being “excepted” was like some kind of waiver. Sorry folks this is all new to me.
