Army Hearing Program/Hearing Conservation
Mission:
The Fort Leonard Wood Hearing Program strives to prevent hearing loss and enhance communication for noise exposed personnel. The program has four major elements: hearing readiness, clinical hearing services, operational hearing services, and hearing conservation. Good hearing is essential for a Soldier’s SURVIVABILITY and LETHALITY in combat. Noise induced hearing loss, on the other hand, has significant negative personal, financial, and mission impact on our Soldiers, civilian employees, and the Army.
Services:
Walk-ins welcome. Hearing tests provided for Active Duty Service Members and designated Federal employees for purposes of completing Physical Health Assessments and updating MEDPROS (annual, pre/post-deployment, and physicals). Soldiers should bring their hearing protection with them to complete a fit check.
