Budkyle Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I was awarded 10% for combined hearing loss/tinitus. I was told that 10% was the max amount one could claim for this. Is that correct ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome, 10 percent is the max comp for recurrent Tinnitus. Hearing loss can be rated separately and at different percentage levels, up to 100 percent, BUT you pretty much have to be about deaf to get a compensable rating for Hearing Loss.

Hollis Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 just hang in there, My first claim was back in 1984, of course I was denied. But I jumped all over it in 2008, and yes I was put thru the mill in 2011 I go it 20% per ear and 10% for tinnitus. So don't give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4766 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hey guys, working on a claim for another Veteran. He has a 60% rating for Ishemic heart. While going thru his file I noticed that even though he had hearing aid given by the VA no, claim was started by his VA rep. Am I correct that we can file a claim for this also?
