hi...can you all recommend a doctor or some doctors of Otolaryngology

or Otology in oklahoma or texas who do independent medical exams for disabled

veterans with hearing loss and tinnitus secondary aggravated issues???

i've seen 4 different audiologists and 2 were by the va system and

none of them can examine/diagnose me with secondary issues related to

hearing loss and tinnitus nor can they complete the necessary va

disability paperwork for these secondary issues. i currently get va disability

for hearing loss and tinnitus now i need some help on the secondary

issues.

thank you.

dauzzo,

I saw a previous post on Hadit where someone suggested the following website to find doctors who do IMEs: www.IMENET. com

I have never used the website so I am not sure if it will help you or not.

I have noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus. The only secondary condition I have heard mentioned as secondary to these conditions is depression. If you believe you are suffering depression as a result of your hearing loss and/or tinnitus, you should seek treatment from a mental health specialist (psychologist or psychiatrist), obtain an IMO and then file a claim for depression as a secondary condition.

Good luck to you and thank you for your service.
