HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted April 10, 2013 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 10, 2013 I kinda doubt it, as to be rated for a hearing loss by VA standards, you need to be practically deaf. I have worse hearing than that and don't meet their ratings. jmo pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doubtful that the effort to get your hearing loss service connected at 55 is worth the trouble. Normally, without total hearing loss, no additional compensation would result.

Going way back in my C-file and on one of their pages (that did not come to me in 83) is this break down:
SMR shows normal audiogram on preinduction PE. Mine clearly states a hearing loss in the 4000hz range at 55!
SMR is silent for complaint of hearing loss. Again a play on words my SMR clearly shows an occasion of treatment for otitis media
and also for a wax build up. I mean back then we just went in had it treated and back out there door!
AND THEN: SMR shows normal hearing on separation PE. On this one where the vet fills out and checks symptoms I checked
hearing loss, again clear as day! And in the dr.'s notes he wrote "hearing loss unilateral high frequency and also it looks like
connective loss-media. Not sure what that means?
Please let me know what you guys think. I am probably going to prepare a NOD based on these.
Thanks, Stillhere
