DD Form 2215 Reference Audiogram
What Is DD Form 2215?
DD Form 2215, Reference Audiogram, serves as a record of initial audiometric test results for comparison with the results of later tests. This particular form is used to record the initial testing. An up-to-date DD Form 2215 fillable version is available for e-filing and download below. First-time filers are advised to refer to the Department of Defense (DoD) Component Instructions for additional filing tips.
Periodic tests are recorded on the DD Form 2216, Hearing Conservation Data. This form is subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 - use a blanket PAC when filing (DD Form 2005, Privacy Act Statement).
The latest version of the form - sometimes confused with the DA Form 2215 - was released by the DoD on January 1, 2000 , with all previous editions still available for use. The form is originally distributed by the Executive Services Directorate and is unclassified and approved for public release.
