Tinnitus and stress are not related in anyway despite what you read on the internet. BP and meds might effect your hearing, but only temporary. It seems you were exposed to long durations of loud high frequency noise. This will damage the nerves in your inner ear, thus you get Tinnitus, along with hearing loss. you need to have some sort of masking test done, this is where the audiologist speaks words to you with a background noise. You are place in room and the audiologist is in another. you will hear test tones, raise your hand , you know the drill. but then you will hear background noise and you repeat words the audiologist speaks to you though the head phones. Then after that test, they will do some sort of pressure test on your ear. I really don't know what it;s called, but they put some pressure on your ear drum. ( does not hurt at all ) A normal hearing test till not find Tinnitus. So, if your going to see an independent audiolist get this masking test, you will need it if applying ot the VA. unless the VA has all this equipment on hand. Please go to a reputable Audiologist not Costco or any place like that.

The VA i think gives 10 percent for this, but you have hearing loss of some kind if you have Tinnitus. I suggest you get some hearing aids if the audiologist recommends them. The VA should give about 30 percent with hearing aids. Tinnitus does not get better is get worse as you get older. thus you have hearing loss sooner. Also heaing aids will help with ringing in your ears belive it or not. many audiologist know this.

I’m a 100 percent disabled vet , service connected. I’m nearly deaf and have two hearing aids now which help some, but still can hear some with them, but not much. We’ll the VA gave me 100 percent in 2001 is it too late to apply for SSDI? I have seen the rules on SSDI, I think it was that I would have to be employed 5 years out of 10 years. Is this correct? I just wondered because, if your disabled and applying late would that rule apply? It doesn’t make sense in my case. I did go to social security after I was awarded by the VA, but was told I would not qualify for anything and not to apply. No help at all from the SS. Well in 2006 same thing again. I never even filled out paper work, otherwise I was denied from filling out the paper work to even get started. Then it happened again last week. Is it still too late for me to apply and get an attorney? Any good attorneys anyone could recommend.
