I am Prior Service Army 11B1P. I have lost my hearing in my right ear since being dischared form active duty in 1992. Is there any job I can do in the Gaurd with this hearing loss?

The cause for rejection for appointment, enlistment, and induction is a hearing threshold level greater than that
described in paragraph c below.
a. Audiometers, calibrated to standards of the International Standards Organization (ISO 1964) or the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI 1996), will be used to test the hearing of all applicants.
b. All audiometric tracings or audiometric readings recorded on reports of medical examination or other medical
records will be clearly identified.
c. Acceptable audiometric hearing levels (both ears) are:
(1) Pure tone at 500, 1000, and 2000 cycles per second of not more than 30 decibels (dB) on the average (each ear),
with no individual level greater than 35dB at these frequencies.
(2) Pure tone level not more than 45 dB at 3000 cycles per second each ear, and 55 dB at 4000 cycles per second
each ear.
