Those who wear a hearing-aid, cannot join the military?

Brezzia asked:


I realize after searching at the Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force web sites that those who are hearing impaired cannot join. What about someone who has normal hearing, but wears a hearing-aid? Are they still immediately disqualified from joining?
Normal meaning at standard/average hearing even with a hearing-aid.

      You’ll have to go to MEPS and pass the minimum threshold for hearing. If you cannot pass you do not qualify.
