JustPLS Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 When you have a speech recognition score of 84 in both ears what is the normal percentage of compensation? Thanks Ken I think you have to apply the tables found in section 4.85 of 38CFR to determine the compensation level, if any. I think the speech discrimination percentages have to be coupled with the puretone threshhold averages to determine amount of hearing loss. Hope this helps, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken1 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I found the below information but do not know what the normal percentage for speech recognition? http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/Benefits/exams/disexm05.htm [For VA purposes, impaired hearing is considered to be a disability when the auditory threshold in any of the frequencies 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz is 40 dB HL or greater; or when the auditory thresholds for at least three of these frequencies are 26 dB HL or greater; or when speech recognition scores are less than 94%.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
