Most service members are exposed to hazardous noise during military service. As a result, tens of thousands of veterans now live with hearing loss or tinnitus.
Tinnitus is the most commonly claimed VA disability condition and hearing loss consistently ranks among the most common as well. Both of these conditions frequently lead to VA disability claims.
If You Were Exposed to Loud Noises During Service, Your VA Exam Matters
When you apply for VA disability benefits for your hearing loss or tinnitus, you will most likely be required to submit to a VA Compensation and Pension (C&P) Exam where a VA medical examiner will evaluate your physical or psychological condition and determine the level of impairment caused by your disability. This may be the most important exam of your life, so it's reasonable that you may be anxious about the exam.
