VA just denied my hearing loss tinnitus NOD appeal. I haveing a problem with Nexus. I was a tracked vehicle mechanic.

Left 500 25 db 1000 30 db 2000 40 db 3000 40 db 4000 45 db 100% descrimination Right 500 25db 1000 25db 2000 35db 3000 40db 4000 35 db 100% descrimination They denied the hearing loss and tinnitus because in thier it opinnion it was not service connected because there was no mention of it in my military records. The Army didn't even do a hearinfg exam on my exit physical.

I was just rated for the Ankle and back. My VSO sent a NOD on the hearing and tinnitus. Gomatic

28 years, 2 test swhile in service. I believe there was some shift in hearing. I've had the tinnitus so long I thought it was normal. I worked as a mechanic maybe a year while out of service. The greatest noise exposure was while I was in the ARMY. Sometimes in Germany we didn't even have hearing protection supplies available.

Left Ankle 10% Lower back 10%

2 questions. 1, My MOS is obsolete, will the VA use a modern equivalent based on my job title. I was a 63Y 10 tracked vehicle mechanic. 2. The Army did not do a hearinfg exam on my exit physical, will this give me a problem? Thanks
