killemall Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Currently 30% hearing loss and 10% tinitus for a total of 40%. Had a c and p exam on my hearing back in oct 2012. Still waiting on results so I called the va and they stated that they are waiting on a questionaire to be done by my local va and sent to them. Is this normal to have a questionaire done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Ok I will go to the va on monday and find the foia office to get results from my october hearing test. This stuff is just unreal though. Im only 33 and my scores already hit 85. I figure by 45 ill be well into the 90s and at a percentage that gives a near retirement size compensation. But what a price to pay. Boomer I know you know how I feel. the compensation for hearing loss is just unsat. every moment of everyday Im guessing at whats being said on tv or friends or even how much I owe to the guy behind the counter. work is hit and miss with some days feeling nearly normal and others struggling to stay in the communication loop. Im rambling now but man this stuff takes a toll. Ill post up after i get the foia results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer2 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Killemall You should consider filing for depression as related to your tinnitus and hearing loss. I am going to do it. I'm presently being treated for depression by a private doc. now. I want to get my current claim cleared up first because there are 6 different things I have filed for. I will probably get 30% for hearing loss as well. You brought up something I was unaware of which is the slurring of your speech. I have had the same thing and also I have had trouble swallowing as well. I wonder if they are related to the hearing loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 To my surprise I read that hearing loss can cause numbness in the face and slurred speech just the other day. This happens to me a lot. So much more than just not being able to hear. Ill post the link to that medical study. Ive been treated for depression at the va. Just waiting on this claim to finish up and then ill submit all documentation to support depression and my ocassional staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
