How would the Air Force deal with Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)?
Tinnitus is having a constant ringing in the ears, typically caused by noise induced hearing loss. I know this is a random question, my husband cant get to a computer at the moment and just wanted me to ask for him. He just wants to know how the air foce would "deal with" him. Thanks if anyone knows anything.
oh sorry I forgot to add he’s currently in the military, not trying to join. thanks
and he’s not a pilot, hes a mechanic

If he’s a pilot forget the possibility. If he’s in the military already and it was work related he may qualify for disability. If he is trying to get in the military he most likely will be rejected.
They are currently so over staffed, they probably wouldn’t even consider the waiver that he would need to be able to join with tinnitus.
"Deal with him"? Are you talking about trying to enlist or for someone who is IN the Air Force?
if he’s not a pilot then i don’t think they would have to deal with him at all.
