I have been doing research on the internet about Meniere's disease. I have found some medical abstracts and reports that state what causes it and some state that the causes are unknown. I don't know much about medical treatises, but are medical abstracts and reports considered treatises?
Acoustic trauma is stated in some of the abstracts and reports as a cause of Meniere's Disease. There is a book that states one of the causes of Meniere's Disease is acoustic trauma.
I am already rated at 10% for tinnitus, which was diagnosed as having been caused by acoustic trauma while working both in US Navy ships' boiler rooms and engine rooms.
How can this information be used if my claim is denied for hearing loss and Meniere's Disease, which were diagnosed by the exam specialist contracted by the VA. If anyone else has any input to provide please do so. Thanks.
