What Is It We Do Again? Army Audiologists

MAJ Eric Fallon

In a time of great changes within the Army, the roles and responsibilities of the 72C are also changing. To remain viable as an AOC, the 72C community must continue to redefine its importance to the military and perhaps more importantly, redefine for ourselves our relevance to an Army at war. The author will discuss both garrison and forward deployed services that the 72C could assume to better protect the soldier from hearing loss as well as increase survivability and lethality through better communication.
