    I understand deaf people aren't allowed to join, I have a slight hearing loss, nothing too major. I was wondering what the rules are on this? Is there a certain decibel one must be over?

    I've been browsing the military.ie website and couldn't find anything. Any help would be great, thanks!

    Not gonna lie it's not looking good. Mine is pretty good but failed mine first time around. Contact the recruitment office, see if they can help. Diagnostic Audiology Clinic in Dublin might have the info you require, or at least may know the industry standard.

    Hearing
    A good standard of unaided hearing is essential. Candidates will be required to undergo an audiometric test at which:
    (1) The sum of the hearing threshold at 1,2,3, 4 and 6 kHz should not exceed the age and gender related warning levels contained in the
    "Guidelines on Hearing Checks and Audiometry Regulations 2007", issued by the Health and Safety Authority.
    (2) Candidates under 25 years of age must be able to hear all measured pure tones up to and including 8kHz at 20dB in each ear. Candidates
    aged 25 and older must be able to hear all measured pure tones up to and including 8kHz at 25dB in each ear. Candidates must also be free
    from acute or chronic ear disorders.
