Questions related to Tinnitus and Hearing loss claim

[Mike Carroll]

tinnitus is one of the easiest claims to win, the VA can't prove you don't have it, so really any service member can get it, Most generally hearing loss will be a 0percent because the VA will give you hearing aids and boom you can hear. that's the way they look at it. If you have service connection for tinnitus look at secondary issues, mental, depression, ect.

This right here. All truth. Tinnitus is seen as a presumed medical complication with your ears due to time in service. Especially when your MOS was one which involved being around heavy fire or machinery, which let's be honest, if you were in the military just about ALL of the MOS's expose you to either of that criteria.

If you claim tinnitus with the VA, nearly all of the time you will get maxed out for that (which is 10%).

I tested out fine when I made my claim but I got awarded max due to presumed tinnitus, and I really do suffer from it at random at any given moment so it works.
