I was DQ'ed for high-frequency hearing loss in one ear (very minor btw). My ENT doctor told me it is not a problem at all and that he does not ever see it being an issue for service or life in general. It is not progressive and is only at a very high frequency so it pretty much just means I can't hear a dog whistle haha.
USNA, USMA, and USAFA have requested waivers, no word back yet.
My ENT told me he is going to write a letter explaining how it is not a serious problem at all, and I can submit it as AMI. He asked me what they would want him to address in the letter. I sent him the post from Mullen about the criteria they look at for a waiver, but that is not hearing specific.
I understand this is probably a DoDMERB help question, but I would prefer any contact with DoDMERB to be very professional and random questions.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know.
