Question
Heller
I submitted a fully-developed claim which included audiology results from a certified Au.D.:
Average of 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k = 58 in best ear. Speech recognition 55% & 65%
The VA made me take a test with their (outsourced) audiologist, unknown credentials:
Average of 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k = 56 in best ear. Speech recognition 94% & 94%!
How could there be such a discrepancy? Is this enough to appeal, or should I get another audiologist?
