All,
I have documented Tinnitus and hearing loss that is very likely service related (years spent with my head in the exhaust of F-14 engines). I have an appointment coming up next week to have these issues documented by a local physician. Currently, they're only documented by the Health Services department of my company. The Tinnitus is moderate to severe (but constant...24/7) and my hearing is basically gone between about 4K and 7K Hz.
My question is this: Is there a specific form I should take with me or a specific test I should ask for? And, once the results are documented, how do I go about filing a claim with the VA?
Thanks for the guidance.
