This is just my take on it.

My husband has a hearing problem, they conceded that he does and its on his discharge papers. We have fights almost every day because he can not hear me and what I said. But they denied him for hearing loss and ringing in his ears, twice and he now is to the point on whats the use of fighting for it after all he is 100% so he said it isn't going to matter anyways./ In reading many post on the board it seems like they deny hearing loss a lot. I don't want to be negative but I think if there are other medical problems than the Vet should go for them and then also add the hearing loss on the claim. And as long as I mentioned that. I would like to say at this point that when filing a claim add every medical problem, do not do one at a time. It may take a little longer but in the long run it will benifit the Veteran who is filing.

Just my two cents
