I have been trainging for the past six months and will continue for a long time. Joining the NAVY and becoming a SEAL is somthing that I have also been thinking about since I can remember. I have one problem though, I have little to no hearing in my right ear. I was wondering if there was a waiver or any restrictions on this. I searched the NAVY's web site and this one both places have left my question unanswered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

call up a recruiter, he could get the info for you

First off, recruiters get paid to BS you. Take everything they say with a grain of salt.

Ask yourself this: Would you want one of your teammates to have half of the hearing ability that you do?(in the case that you had 100% ears)

To be honest with you, I would only be able to fully trust a teammate if he had the same smelling, hearing, and sight as I.

I'm definitely not trying to bust your balls here bro, I'm just giving you a different perspective on things. Maybe they have some special aid that can help you in this situation.

Best of luck to you!
