Hearing is deteriorating so hearing tests are scheduled for next

Frank, if you were subjected to noise while in the military, the VA
may determine that your hearing loss is service-connected and if so,
will provide you with hearing aids and a lifetime supply of batteries.

I received two digital aids just a couple of months ago, because the
VA determined my recent hearing loss was probably caused by flying
noisy military airplanes half a century ago.


....same here Vince, I'm convinced airplanes were complicit in my hearing
loss and have contacted the VA for the necessary forms. Lessee, first
KB-29s, KC-97s and KC-135s (+ various and sundry transport aircraft hauling
my butt around the world) Too bad they don't have a medical procedure for
tinnitus as well, short of cutting the nerves that cause it. But what the
hell, I was doing what I loved to do so it is a small price to pay for "job
satisfaction."
