Petition Allow people with hearing aids to join the British Military

Encourage the Government to allow people who wear Hearing Aids, entry into the British Military, whether it be in Combat, or non-Combat roles.
My 13 year old son had his dreams of joining the British Military crushed because he wears hearing aids. How’s this fair?

More details

People who wear hearing aids have tried to join the British Military but have been rejected due to “Health & Safety” It is unacceptable for People to be rejected, because They wear hearing aids. What happened to "Equality"

I'd like the Government to consider changing the rules, to allow people with Hearing Aids to join the British Military. The majority of people who wear hearing aids are Physically and Mentally able to do the job.

Please consider changing these rules.
