What can I expect?
When you come in for a hearing evaluation for your compensation and pension evaluation, we will have you fill out the above document to get a clear understanding of your hearing health history as it relates to your military experience. The audiologist will have reviewed your military medical records and most recent pertinent medical files. Next, we will perform the full hearing evaluation, including pure tone thresholds via air and bone conduction, speech testing, and the tympanometry and acoustic reflexes. The audiologist will not be able to go over the results with you at the end of this test. We will be sending a report to the VA with our results as well as your report of hearing health.
