Well, that code is “Miscellaneous disqualification of ears, nose, throat or related systems.”

Here is what they say about waivers:

OK, DoDMERB has determined that I did not meet the DoD medical accession standards. Is it possible to get a waiver from somebody?

Yes, in certain circumstances.

A medical waiver allows applicants to enter military service programs even though they may not have met DoD medical standards. Waivers may be granted by the program to which you’re applying, NOT DoDMERB. The Service Academies automatically consider applicants for a medical waiver if they are competitive for admission. All ROTC programs will automatically consider all scholarship awardees and competitive scholarship applicants for a waiver.

As part of the medical waiver process, each program (i.e., Air Force Academy, West Point, Navy ROTC, etc.) may direct DoDMERB to request additional tests, studies, or medical records/information. If that occurs, please comply with all request(s) as soon as possible and send all documentation to DoDMERB at: DoDMERB, 8034 Edgerton Drive, Suite 132, United States Air Force Academy, CO 80840-2200.

Please include your name and social security number on all correspondence.



You can apply for a waiver. There will probably be more info on that contained in the letter. If not, you can call DoDMERB and/or admissions for more info.
