A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

I believe the first one is a zero percent.

The second looks like 40 percent.

I use a tool that automatically does all of that for me and provides canned text.

I should point out that we only use 1khz, 2khz, 3khz, and 4khz in our average calculation, so that may change things, see 4.85d. I hope that's what you used to determine your averages.

Yeah, that's a average 65db and 80% Maryland word score is a Column IV for the right ear. Left is 55db and 96%, which is Column I. Going by the chart for Column IV then going up to Column I, it reveals a 0 percent.

I rarely see compensable hearing loss.
