Can I join the British army after being medically rejected.
Posted on
Hi, last October, I attempted to join the British Army as a Vehicle Mechanic (regular soldier) and passed everything but one thing. I failed the hearing test, not because my ears are bad, I was told that my hearing was good enough to go in, bare in mind, when I sent my hearing test in from a private ear doctor, whom said it was good enough to enter, I was told I had two green ticks on my hearing by Middlesbrough career office recruiter. All I had to do was my eye test because I had a pupil bigger then the other, 20/20 vision, I sent it in. I was told that they’d get in contact soon, only for them to create an event in my portal to a Hospital down 6 hours away (Swindon). I was pissed as anyone would be, because my plan in life or what I wanted to do was join the British army as a vehicle mechanic, and now I would be missing my time to go to Harrogate by March, went in April and they told me that my ears were good enough to go in, but I may have something genetic that could cause more hearing loss then other soldiers, not by the loud noises but the pressure of the explosions. Sorry to get too detailed, however I was wondering if I could reapply and possible convince them to let me join for whatever years they think would be suitable. If anyone can help, that would be great thanks.
