Muted peepers and tweeting birds. That’s me, but sometimes the mute is off.For me those intense times are very brief and sudden and random.
The tinnitus itself is constant and pretty level. Though the sound changes from a constant whine to a warble like summer night sounds. Think muted peepers and tweeting birds.
I'm used to it.
My hearing loss seems to be getting worse though.
No, I don’t watch TV really...but that sucks
If the TV is on and I was the cause of it, it was probably meant for background ‘noise’.
Isn't it too late? I thought you had to do that when outprocessing for discharge?Go to VA, get money for hearing loss
Never too late to put in a claim. It’s much easier now than it was years ago.Isn't it too late? I thought you had to do that when outprocessing for discharge?
I wear some wireless rechargeable head phones for tv. The charger base also serves as the transmitter and is connected to the audio output from my cable box. Works great and I can control my own volume without bothering anyone else.I turned on closed captions on the tv for good a few years ago. Anyone else?

Any advantage to being labeled as 10% disabled?Nope. I left the Navy in 91 and after some advice from a VA rep I filed for tinnitus and hearing loss in 2018. They basically put you through with tinnitus pretty easily. They are much tougher on hearing loss. You have to push on the hearing loss. Tinnitus by itself is qualification for a 10% disability.
