I Am Navy Medicine – HM3 John Ong – Lead Hearing Conservation Tech at NHB
When an earful about an ear full is needed, Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class John Ong can provide any such helpful cautioning. As the lead hearing conservation technician and general duty corpsman for Naval Hospital Bremerton Otorhinolaryngology [better known as Ears, Nose and Throat] department, Ong handles everything from administering hearing tests to counseling patients on just what constitutes healthy hearing, which includes reminding patients at times to follow the old adage of not sticking anything in your ear smaller than your elbow, as well as adequately protect it from damaging, earsplitting noise (official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
