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?

i have a minor hearing loss in both ears will that keep me from going into the marines?
