why does the military start a new base line on your hearing? I can hear certain noises on the hearing test. Some are the same time as this constant ringing into ears. I came in with perfect hearing. Now, I can only decipher half of any conversation on the phone and a little better im person. I've failed so many stupid hearing tests. I can her low tones, but the high pitches are really hard. Why do I now ksyart from a different baseline than when I first entered. Will this effect VA when I retire. I surely can't be a telephone operator. Lol. But hearing is very essential in any position available in the future.

I have the same problem MSG (Join to see). I always do horrible on my hearing test and get asked to come back all the time, I never do though. They ask me to come back so they can adjust my baseline as well. I don't want my baseline adjusted because I don't want it to change anything when I get ready to get out as well.

I kept a hearing test from before my deployment. Wonder if that will help out. Pretty sure I will be deaf one day. For now. I just want this flippin ringing to stop. Everyone says use ambient noise. Doesn't work for me. Insomnia is all I've got.

I know exactly how you feel MSG (Join to see) . I have ringing in my ears from when I was Infantry in the Marines, never wore ear pro. I have been dealing with this ringing for about 8 years now. The baseline that I go off of is from back when I joined. So naturally all my scores would be lower now. I hope that you find your answer or that someone comments on ways to get this resolved so others can know as well.
