Thanks, Commander Bob!! Here's the info from the 6260 code that Commander Bob posted. I guess it is rated under the ear, after all.
6260 Tinnitus, recurrent 10%
Note (1): A separate evaluation for tinnitus may be combined with an evaluation under diagnostic codes 6100, 6200, 6204, or other diagnostic code, except when tinnitus supports an evaluation under one of those diagnostic codes.
Note (2): Assign only a single evaluation for recurrent tinnitus, whether the sound is perceived in one ear, both ears, or in the head.
Note (3): Do not evaluate objective tinnitus (in which the sound is audible to other people and has a definable cause that may or may not be pathologic) under this diagnostic code, but evaluate it as part of any underlying condition causing it.
So, the original award should have been 10%, which should get you 10% retro many yrs. jmo
