Then go to subpart B. It is based on percentages according to the severity of the illness. Jbasser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I AM RATED AT 10% FOR BI LATERAL TINNITUS AND JUST RECENTLY HAVE SUDDEN HEARING LOSS IN ONE EAR. TOTAL LOSS.. MY DOC SAYS POSSIBLE VIRUS, MY QUESTION IS COULD I REQUEST INCREASE DUE TO RECENT LOSS BECAUSE I AM ALREADY RECIEVING 10% FOR TINNITUS EAR DAMAGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halos2 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 These are 2 separate issues. You would have to put in a claim for hearing loss. Then they will set you up for a C&P to evaluate the loss and proceed there. Tinnitis is paid for in one sum, it is not considered bilateral it just pays out at 10%. Hearing loss is paid out at different levels regarding the amount of loss. I AM NEW TO THIS BUT I HAVE A QUESTION. I AM RATED AT 10% FOR BI LATERAL TINNITUS AND JUST RECENTLY HAVE SUDDEN HEARING LOSS IN ONE EAR. TOTAL LOSS..

Ladybug Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have a tinnitus rating of 10%. I had a virus which caused me to lose 45% hearing in one ear fora few months until they did an exploratory tympanotomy and scrapped some buildup off on 2 of the three bones in the ear. My hearing came back completely within three weeks post op. I don't know if you had the same situation, but I thought I would mention in case this is correctable for you.
