LTC Mark Stevens
Dealing with new recruits (or nearly new) who have been assessed into the military with pre-existing hearing impairment (H-2 and H-3) has long been a problematic issue. This presentation will discuss the many variables surrounding this challenge and offer a series of recommendations to potentially resolve the difficulties generated by this problem. Discussion will include interfacing with local Chain of Command and medical waiver authority, NGB, USAR, and MEPS.
