What branch is it most likely possible to get a hearing loss waiver in?

Please no DB cycles or copy paste info, I've been through all kinds of information.





I got an above average score in my ASVAB and meet all the physical requirments. I have yet to go get screened at MEPS.





What branch and what MOS are wise to seek for this kind of waiver.|||It took about a month to get an appointment with an independent audiologist/ENT specialist to document the amount my of hearing loss. Once I had the results from that appointment, the hearing waiver was approved in less than three hours.





I now carry a hearing profile which states that I cannot be exposed to sounds louder than 85dba (a dial tone is about 80dba). So with a hearing loss, you will want to choose an MOS where you will not be exposed to loud noises (avoid artillery or being around large machinery).|||All of them have the exact same medical entry requirements and all of them have the exact same waiver requirements...your chances are therefore equal in all branches|||None.|||when you register for the draft, at the induction center all branches are test the same. Including hearing. Then all the tests are done will determine what your military status will be. If you do not pass the minimal requirements they will classify you as 4F or limited think it is 4A. Then if a draft comes up, it is possible to pull you the time of war to do limited work that does not need good hearing in this case.
