Can I join the military with a unilateral hearing loss?

However if you're savvy enough to pass the hearing test and can make it through basic training, you can later claim you lost you're hearing while in the military. If this is the case you may be allowed to continue serving as long as your partial hearing loss doesn't affect your duties. read more

Probably not, there is a minimum threshold for hearing. I have high frequency hearing loss. I passed the hearing test at the MEPS station but then didn’t pass when the hearing test was re-administered in bootcamp. They ended up doing sound chamber testing and I passed just enough to stay in. read more

Consideration for waiver of hearing loss depends on the nature of the loss, severity of loss, and the military job that is being sought by the applicant (e.g., someone with hearing loss could not be a pilot, or work in jobs requiring acute hearing). read more
