I filed a VA claim in 2018 for hearing loss, 24 years after I got out. Only spent 6 years directly in aviation. Used DAV to file the claim. Went to the audiologist. Was told I had significant mid-range hearing loss. High frequency loss was about the same after 24 years. Received a "0" rating for hearing loss and a 10% rating for tinnitus. Last month went to the VA for hearing aids. Went through another audiology screening and hearing aids will be here on the 23rd. May be I won't have to tell people so ofthen that I missed that comment.Just filed a claim with the VA. Running around the flight line in the 80's, under rotor heads etc. They will beat me down but working with DAV, fingers crossed.

I just tried the tone generator with my iPhone, and amazingly, it can generate somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 Hz to about 15 kHz. I’m going to have to work with a good set of headphones to figure out the frequency of my vicious tinnitus, but I think it’s somewhere around 10.5 kHz. I can hear somewhere up close to 15 kHz, but it’s not comfortable. I feel like I’m in some science fiction movie where they’re torturing people and trying to make them go insane when I listen to continuous tones that high.
Yes.are you collecting a benefit?

Interesting mission. But it wasn't for me. Only did one tour of duty. It wasn't until I did go to that squadron, that I found out what my Father did as a civil servant for the Navy.i looked up your squadron, interesting history
