I don't think there is a limitation. I filed last year and I left active service in 1973. I would check with a Vets. Service group. PM if you want.

Hearing/Tinnitus Waiver for SF
 
I'd like to revisit some thoughts in this older thread and ask any QPs their advice on hearing waivers for entering SF service. Besides my intro, this will be my first post on this site. I love what I read and can't wait to become a closer part of your community.

I currently serve in the Guard as an 11A. Unfortunately, I suffered hearing loss and tinnitus while MOUT training in Leschy Town at Fort Lewis as an M60 gunner -- why they wanted us to take M60s into that town to clear buildings is beyond me, but I can't complain too much... I volunteered for it, thought it would be cool, look tough like Rambo, etc and the Govt has now given me free hearing aids to boot.

Thanks! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I seriously doubt that very many, if any med waivers are being issued right now, but as we tell everyone, a trip to the MEPS station will provide an official response.

Hearing/Tinnitus Waiver for SF
 
Thanks TR.

Let's say the waiver was possible. If you were on a selection board, what concerns would you have of a candidate that already had hearing problems?
