Questions for Service Members
Q3:
How do I start my PHA?
A:
To initiate your PHA, complete the Part A in the required service component system of record (MODS, ASIMS, etc). Once the Part A is complete, you have three ways to schedule your appointment.

Q4:
What is a CAE?
A:
A Comprehensive Audio Evaluation (CAE) is more than just an audiogram and is used to determine the hearing portion of the PULHES when a possible loss of hearing has been identified. CAEs include, but are not limited to, pure tone air-conduction and bone-conduction threshold testing; speech reception threshold and word recognition testing; acoustic-immittance testing, including acoustic reflex measurements; masking, when indicated; otoacoustic emissions and a Speech Recognition in Noise Test (SPRINT), if applicable.
Q6:
What do I need to bring to my clinic appointment?
A:
RHRP will send (by Federal Express) a package of paperwork and/or supplies to you prior to your appointment. Please review and complete all necessary paperwork before the scheduled appointment and bring all materials with you. Also bring any relevant medical documentation (i.e., MRB, profiles, etc.) and your prescription eyeglasses if attending a PHA.
Q11:
What happens if I refuse services at an appointment or a group event?
A:
If you have documentation to show you’ve had the service, you should make a copy and give it to the provider. If you just don’t want the service or are unsure if you need the service, you should contact your Command’s IMR representative for guidance before refusing the service, as there may be repercussions with your command for doing so.
