I have the same problems with my eyes. I'm just hoping my eyes are ok to join as an officer in the Army Air Corps.<a href="http://www.felinehealthguide.com/feline-cold.htm"> JALLEN</a> It might as the marines might deem that your hearing loss could endanger you and fellow future marines if they allowed you to pass.

And in boot camp, no one will be whispering to you. At MEPS there is a hearing test that you take where you sit in a dark booth with 3 other recruits with a stool in each corner facing the wall, with head phones on and a buzzer in your hand. They shut the door and they play different levels of tones or rings and you hit the button everytime you hear one. I'm pretty sure this just lets them know how to better place you. If you're not completely deaf it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but don't second guess yourself and not even try just because you think you might fail. That's against the whole idea of being a Marine.<a href="http://www.englishoverseas.com/teach-english/teach-english-europe.htm"> τнε ßεℓℓατrιχ</a> If you’re not hard of hearing now, you would be after you get tinnitus from all the explosions and loud noises..

The hearing test was at least in 1996 a test where you wear headphones and you push a button when you hear a beep so you may even pass it at Meps.<a href="http://www.secretfinance.com/offshore/offshore-bermuda.htm"> amanda</a> Depending on how bad it is you should be able to get a waiver.
