sgmdae Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I was told that the issuing of hearing Aids, shows that it is correctable, so the rating for hearing will be Zero. Is this a fact??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Make sure they comprehend what your MOS was. Raise the issue of the tinnitus as due to your service and also due to the PTSD meds (if you can find some support for that on the net)- anything is possible.
