Hearing Loss/Tinnitus(Headaches/Trouble sleeping)

Rate this question

Question

To all,
  I am a recently retired Marine(1 Sep 2015) and have medium to severe hearing loss(I wear dual hearing aids) and Tinnitus that happened during my career(2004).  I had a C&P where they performed a Hearing Exam on me along with the word/speech recognition exam but I failed to get a copy of the results.  I wanted to inquire if anyone has also submitted for headaches & trouble sleeping due to the constant Tinnitus.  I have a seperate appt at the VA on Monday where I will try to get a copy of the results to try to gauge C&P but below are my last two reults from some tests done on base while still in military.  Anyone have any idea on possible % connection(I did review the 38 CFR).  All of your assistance is truly appreciated!

To me his hearing loss could be any where from 30 to 60%

 

He had speech discrimination scores in the 20s on come test

 

That would put you way up there.

 

Im surprised your hearing hasnt worsened over the past six years.

 

Mine keeps getting worse every three years or so
