Hearing test in bootcamp
I was wondering if they test your hearing in basic. I failed one test at MEPS, but passed my retest (barely). I would hate to get my rate and then lose it at basic because I fail the hearing test again.

Honestly, judging from the varied responses in the vision test thread, it probably will depend on whether or not your specific rate requires "Normal hearing".
Bonzer's air, so he needs normal color vision and normal hearing and he got both tested at bootcamp. I'm a linguist, so I only need normal hearing. I had my hearing tested at bootcamp but not my vision. |

Thanks Jzhaun,
I'm hoping for MA so I will need the normal hearing. I'm sure all the yelling will be very helpful for the hearing test. |

You should be ok. Try jet engines lol I worked with them before I enlisted and thankfully they didn't mess my ears up. I hardly used hearing protection too because I wasn't too bright.
