Question

I have a C & P Exam scheduled for next week for Hearing Loss. I'm deaf in one ear(not service Related), but I'm going for a partial loss of hearing on my good ear, which the VA has provided a hearing aid for me. I'm from the Viet Nam era - with a combat star. I'm trying to say when I went to "A" School, my other aviation schools,working on the line with my squadron, and serving on many detachments in the Pacific, all we had were the ear-plugs in the plastic containers. There were no "Mickey Mouse Ears back then. Are they going to eat me up...

Here is the exam you are going to have.

Here are the ratings for the ears.

Study them closely and compare your latest hearing test to the charts attached.

Just a reminder - if you have any noticeable ringing, clicking or background static noises in your ears, please be sure to tell the hearing examiner.

That's because, in addition to hearing loss, the VA can also separately rate you as having tinnitus. (The max rating for tinnitus is 10%)

Best of Luck.

P.S. I like your icon. Ha ha. :(

:( I just want to say "Thanks" for the info you have given me. I will go to my C & P pleading my best case, and Sunday I will certainly spend some quality time at "Altar Call" asking for God to be my go between. Can I go to Medical Records right after the hearing for a copy, or must I get it from another source at a later date?
