I'm going over the hearing test results of C & P exam and believe I have the % figured out using the tables but was wondering if someone could help me verify the results - already SC'd for hearing loss at 0% and I'm thinking no increase will happen with the following results but those tables are confusing for me.
Results:
Right Ear Avg Hz(B-E) 51.25
Left Ear Avg Hz(B-E) 50
Speech Discrimation Score: 92%
Diagnosis: (for both ears)
Sensorineural hearing loss in frequency range of 500-40000
Sensorineural hearing loss in frequency range of 6000 Hx
Was the Veteran's VA claims file reviewed?
No
Etiology
Cannot provide medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's hearing loss without resorting to speculation - no medical records or baseline hearing tests.
Configuration of hearing loss is like that usually seen with noise as the etiolgoy.
I'm assuming that because he was already SC'd they did not give the examiner his records as there are about 8 hearing tests in Active Duty Service Health Record? I would also assume that of the 18 yrs (of 22 years) that was spent as 0811- Artillery...that the 198 Howitzer just mightcause a little noise as well as the incoming rounds during combat <----------my attempt at being sarcastic.
Thanks in advance for response.
