Is there any actual recourse to get a hearing waiver approved or reconsidered?

3.99K

Today my hearing waiver was denied as being too borderline with my one area of failing by 5 being what sent for the waiver review.

Is there any actual recourse to get a waiver approved or reconsidered?

Are there any other options for help for me and my family?

Thanks in advance

You could always get another hearing test with a civilian medical facility that performs these tests. Because once the waiver is denied, then that is it. What does your Recruiter say?

That I could get another test from a civilian but not sure it would matter. Most other branches will follow the same guidelines as well as the waiver was actually denied today.

Considered NG and then trying to transfer as active NG to Active Duty.

SPC Josh Tharp - What I mean is get another test.....keep getting tested...until your tests show that you are on the button. But, I would say that if you get 3 tests...and 2 of the 3 still have you below the allowable threshold...you may never get to/above it.

MSG (Join to see) if I get above it, will the waiver be granted you think or would I no longer need it?

SPC Josh Tharp - If your hearing ends up at or above, you may not need a waiver. However, MEPS may require you to retake it to verify. But, that's MEPS, so who knows, really.
