OK DIZZY HERE GO'S. RATIONALE FOR OPINION GIVEN: C-FILE WAS NOT AVAILABLE BUT VETERAN DID BRING SOME RECORDS WITH HIM AND HIS CPRS RECORDS WERE REVIEWED. HIS CURRENT SYMPTOMS AND THE FINGING ON HIS ECOG ARE CONSISTENT WITH MENIERE'S DISEASE. THE HISTORY OF HIS SYMTOMS CONSISTENT WITH MENIERE'S THAT WAS VERY MILD WHEN HE LEFT THE MILITARY AND BECAME MORE PROMINENT OVER TIME. SYMPTOMS ARE OF WORSENING TINNITUS AND HEARING LOSS IN THE LEFT EAR ASSOCIATED WITH VERTIGO.HE REPORTS INITIAL SYMPTOMS WERE MILD AND NOT FREQUENT SO HE DIDN'T SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION UNTIL THEY BE CAME MORE FREQUENT AND SEVER. HE DID BRING A SMR NOTE FROM 1972 THAT REPORTED DIZZINESS. PER HIS LAST C&P EXAM IN 2006 HE HAD A SLIGHT SHIFT IN HIS LOW FREQUENCY HEARING LOSS 500 HZ. THESE TWO FINDINGS COULD BE SUGGESTIVE OF A MILD MENIER'S AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE FROM MILITARY SERVICE.AS THE VETERAN IS S/C FOR HEARING LOSS AND TINNITUS.WHICH ARE TWO COMMON FINDINGS WITH MENIERE'S,AND THERE IS DOCUMENTATION OF DIZZINES IN 1972 AND SLIGHT SHIFT IN HIS LOW FREQUENCY HEARING,BOTH OF WHICH ARE CONSISTENT WITH MENIERE'S, AND THAT HE REPORTS HISTORY THAT IS CONCISTENT WITH MILD MENIERE'S AT THE TIME OF HIS DISCHARGE FROM THE MILITARY THAT HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED OVER TIME, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE VETERAN PROBABLY HAD EARLY MENIERE'S AROUND THE TIME OF HIS DISCHARGE FROM MILITARY SERVICE.EXAMINERS MED OPINION:THE VET'S MENIERE'S IS AS LEAST AS LIKELY AS NOT (50/50 PROBABILITY)CAUSED BY OR A RESULT OF HIS MILITARY SERVICE OR S/C TINNITUS. WELL THATS IT I HOPE THIS CAN YOU ALL. GOOD LOUCK!ALSO MY MOS 13A10 ARTILLERY 175MM SP 6/10 FIELD ARTILLERY BAMBURG,GERMANY 1971 TO 1972.
