0 georgiapapa Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 dauzzo, I saw a previous post on Hadit where someone suggested the following website to find doctors who do IMEs: www.IMENET. com I have never used the website so I am not sure if it will help you or not. I have noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus. The only secondary condition I have heard mentioned as secondary to these conditions is depression. If you believe you are suffering depression as a result of your hearing loss and/or tinnitus, you should seek treatment from a mental health specialist (psychologist or psychiatrist), obtain an IMO and then file a claim for depression as a secondary condition. JMO Good luck to you and thank you for your service. GP Link to comment
