I would not think so.

[Carl the Engineer]

Tinnitus, however, it is assumed and limited at 10% total.

Bilaterals usually are arms, elbows, hands, legs, knees and feet, etc.

Check this out about TBI's

d) Traumatic brain injury. (1) In a veteran who has a service-connected traumatic brain injury, the following shall be held to be the proximate result of the service-connected traumatic brain injury (TBI), in the absence of clear evidence to the contrary: (i) Parkinsonism, including Parkinson's disease, following moderate or severe TBI; (ii) Unprovoked seizures following moderate or severe TBI; (iii) Dementias of the following types: presenile dementia of the Alzheimer type, frontotemporal dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies, if manifest within 15 years following moderate or severe TBI; (iv) Depression if manifest within 3 years of moderate or severe TBI, or within 12 months of mild TBI; or (v) Diseases of hormone deficiency that result from hypothalamo-pituitary changes if manifest within 12 months of moderate or severe TBI. (2) Neither the severity levels nor the time limits in paragraph (d)(1) of this section preclude a finding of service connection for conditions shown by evidence to be proximately due to service-connected TBI. If a claim does not meet the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) with respect to the time of manifestation or the severity of the TBI, or both, VA will develop and decide the claim under generally applicable principles of service connection without regard to paragraph (d)(1). (3)(i) For purposes of this section VA will use the following table for determining the severity of a TBI: Mild Moderate Severe Normal structural imaging Normal or abnormal structural imaging Normal or abnormal structural imaging. LOC = 0-30 min LOC > 30 min and < 24 hours LOC > 24 hrs. AOC = a moment up to 24 hrs AOC > 24 hours. Severity based on other criteria. PTA = 0-1 day PTA > 1 and < 7 days PTA > 7 days. GCS = 13-15 GCS = 9-12 GCS = 3-8. Note: The factors considered are: Structural imaging of the brain. LOC—Loss of consciousness. AOC—Alteration of consciousness/mental state. PTA—Post-traumatic amnesia. GCS—Glasgow Coma Scale. (For purposes of injury stratification, the Glasgow Coma Scale is measured at or after 24 hours.) (ii) The determination of the severity level under this paragraph is based on the TBI symptoms at the time of injury or shortly thereafter, rather than the current level of functioning. VA will not require that the TBI meet all the criteria listed under a certain severity level in order to classify the TBI at that severity level. If a TBI meets the criteria in more than one category of severity, then VA will rank the TBI at the highest level in which a criterion is met, except where the qualifying criterion is the same at both levels.

It was a Glascow score of 3 and when I  awoke it was 11 in 2007 and in 2009 they deployed me to Afghanistan. Ive more so recently was trying to get help in 2014 and 2015 before I was laid off were the doctor said my problems were related to my TBI and the 3.5cm Cyst from the accident right before Sikorsky was bought by Lockheed Martin and laid me off. I have documentation of all this and the paperwork which says not to work until Ive completed several sessions of occupational therapy and recovered more with my TBI. This was after a doctor already said I was ok to send to war go figure stay away from strenuous activity.
