Tinnitus And Hearing Loss Claim

[danang_1969]

Getting things ready to reopen a new tinnitus and hearing loss claim. Need info.

Here is what I have now.

1.Claimant or Veterna's statement of hours of extreme noise with no ear protection provided.

2.Two buddy letters stating I was exposed as to extreme noise numerous hours with no ear protection.

3.Private audiologist hearing test chart and results saying hearing loss from acoustical trauma.

4.Example chart of high frequency loss test chart that matches my test chart almost exactly.

4.NEW EVIDENT: VA Ear Nose and Throat Specialist records saying hearing loss and tinnitus from acoustical trauma that happened many many years ago. Need hearing aids or surgery to correct both. Scheduled for hearing aid setup.

Been denied 3 times on this condition. Two different C&P's exams from same VA doctor saying hearing loss and tinnitus is from old age and SSOC said no connection to military service.

What else do I need?

wasn't done with my question and my browser loaded it. i am positive it is human error, however, I have been meaning to make an appointment with my reg dr with the VA to talk about the possibility of getting hearing aids. However, I must say i am apposed of putting on these clunky over the ear ones, that kinda looks like they tell the world that i am hard of hearing and people need to shout when they talk to me, like i am from a foriegn country..

Hi Matt!

My husband just got hearing aids, they are called "LIFE Hearing Aids" made by seimens, they are tiny and can't be seen at all when you are wearing them AT ALL and my husband says he doesn't even notice he is wearing them.

This is the first time he has had them, I forced him to go to VA Audiology and get his hearing checked because I had to yell at him so much. (Kind of miss the yelling, hehehehehe)

Anyway, put down and have a talk to them about it, after all even if they give them to you, you don't have to wear them! :-)
