 Yes, if awarded. what are you asking?

If you are 60% now for another sc condition  and this is a new sc condition (hearing loss) if you get a rating for your hearing loss   yes they will add it or combined it into what you get now  which is 60%  depending on what your hearing loss is rated?

Your hearing loss rating, if you are SC for hearing loss, will be "combined" with your current rating.  Unfortunately, its not simple math adding them up, but rather they use the combined ratings table.  

But, yes, if your hearing loss is severe you can get up to 100 percent for hearing loss alone.  Then, if you have an additional 60 percent seperate and distinct, you also get statuatory SMC S, which is about another 350 per month.
