tinnitus 1. C&p Down And One To Go.

[Jim 501st]

Well I had my hearing and tinnitus C&P yesterday. The Lady who gave it to me has done my last two hearing test for hearing test for hearing test for hearing aides.

Believe it or not it was on one of these visits that I took my discharge separation hearing test and ask her if I should file a claim. After one glance she said I should have filed thirty years ago. I had significant loss in my left ear. It has progressed to ninety on the pure tone with 32 percent speech discrimination on my last test eight months ago.

She told my Wife and me that this test was nearly the same as then. On my last test she wrote on her report that I also suffered from tinnitus, vertigo, and meniere's disease. This had been diagnosed by an eye ear and nose specialist at the VA. I had 70 on the pure tone in my right ear and 70% speech recognition in my right ear then. I didn't have a loss in my right ear when I got out of the service. I think it was 20 on the pure tone, so I guess I will only have one ear service connected.

My wife and me couldn't believe how open she was after the test. She even apologized for the pain she put me through with the air induction test. She said she knew how painful it was for someone who had meniere's. She was correct, I nearly came out of the booth when she raised the noise level the third time. You have to have Meniere's to appreciate this.

It nearly floored me when she told us that she was going to write in her report that that my hearing was service connected.

I go for another C&P tomorrow morning for the Meniere's and vertigo. I hope since I have documentation of severe vertigo dating back to 1980 and a diagnosis by a VA specialist of meniere's disease that I will have the same results. Wish me luck.

I think I will take the twenty pages of records from 1980 to date of treatment for vertigo from my private Doctor, as well as the written record of the VA specialist's diagnosed meniere's disease with me tomorrow. It's all in my c-file, but you know how that goes. Maybe he or she will look at it maybe not, but I'll take it just the same.

I have studied the work sheet for this exam tomorrow and in all honesty my symptoms are worse than what they are looking for. Oh well wish me luck.

I don't post much but was asked a while back to keep you Guys up to date. I know Josephine, and 1968 vet and others can associate.

take care and God bless

my first rating was Tinitus with vertigo 10% talk aboud p'd off. I just recentlly got that overturned. What got it overturned was me taking the 15 years of documentation for vertigo which mention staggering and highlighted the words stagering or anything to do with gait or balance, that was the key STAGGERING

Did you get a questionaire? to fill out and take to the exam? if you did I would read the attachment
