Question
Jim 501st
I took my discharge hearing report to the va audiologist, and ask if I should file a claim. She advised me I should. The tinnitus is severe, The hearing in my left ear is profound with speech recognition in the 20s.
My right ear is seventy on the pure tone test, speech recognition 80%
The left ear is the one that showed hearing loss when I left the service.
I was diagnosed with Meniere's by an eye, ear and nose specialists at my local va over a year ago, but have piles documentation from the early eighties for treatment for vertigo and dizziness.
The tinnitus is dreadful in both ears and has been since my first vertigo attach in 1984.
I have been treated at the local va for all the above for several years.
I have had good insurance through the years and sent in med records dating back to 1984, including eight hearing graphs that shows a steady hearing loss to the point I am now.
I have sent in c-scans, mri etc that eliminate tumors.
All the above should be in my c-file.
I have a c&p coming on 6 Jan. 08 for the hearing and tinnitus.
I have another on 8 Jan. 08 for Meniere's.
I don't have a clue as to what to expect at these c&p's, but I know many of you do. Perhaps someone could enlighten me. It's time for the big game and I'll admit I am antsy.
Thanks to all
