Hearing problem

[AJB37]

I went to MCAS Miramar today to get my physical done and I ran into a problem with my hearing during the audiogram.

The results for my left ear were: 500 5 / 1000 15 / 2000 35 / 3000 35 / 4000 35/ 6000 30

And for the right: 500 5/ 1000 0/ 2000 15/ 3000 10/ 4000 15/ 6000 25

The tech told me the left ear was bad, but didn't say if it was disqualifying for SNA, he also said that I should probably retest.

I'm wondering if the results are disqualifying, if I can get a wavier, and if I can retest through a civilian doc? I'll probably try to retest when I go back to get my optometry done on 17 July, but I'd like to get the hearing taken care of before then.

Thanks

P.S. I tried searching, but the threads seemed to apply to people who had already commissioned.

Check the NAMI waiver guide for the hearing standards, but I vaguely remember 50 being disqualifying, so I think you're still good. Just wear earplugs and try to put yourself in SILENT surroundings before your next test, if you do one. That should boost your hearing for future tests.

Re test and wear ear plugs for 12 hours prior.

Awesome, thanks for the responses.

Also close your eyes when taking the test. That always helps me because I'm not as distracted by my surroundings.

S.O.B. passes good gouge. Also, no listening to loud things for the 12 hours prior.
