Top 5 conditions Related to Tinnitus in Veterans Disability

In this video Leah explores the complex relationships between tinnitus and various conditions in the context of VA disability. She emphasizes the individuality of each case, cautioning that the presence of tinnitus doesn't guarantee a causal link to other conditions like depression, anxiety, or migraines. Leab provides a comprehensive overview of tinnitus, describing it as a common issue characterized by ringing or other internal noises in the ears, often associated with acoustic noise exposure among veterans. She details the secondary conditions frequently connected with tinnitus on a service-connected basis, including migraines, insomnia, anxiety, and depression, and discusses the concept of tinnitus as an intermediate step, potentially leading to other medical conditions indirectly.

Yes, they're all related. I have tinnitus and have a constant recurring headache/migraine, neck pain, depression, irritation, mood swings etc. I have claimed all.

I call it the sound that I sleep with. The letter

[SavagelandHunting]

This company is by far the best. Sending everyone their way.

I would like to add that Prestige/Leah's DBQ and Nexus letter for anxiety and depression did help getting my approved rating

[josephdinneen]

I’ve had tinnitus for over a decade with zero side effects. I do eat well, stay active and take vitamins.

Thank you for another great video Leah. This information is vital to my current Board of Veterans Appeals issues that I am fighting right now. You helped clear up the facts around and circumstances concerning secondary conditions that are going to help me greatly. Thank you for your previous active duty service and thank you for all the work that you’re doing to help veterans and our families with our battles with VA. A past client of yours and was very happy that your advice, guidance and Nexus letter assisted me in getting my ratings for tinnitus and for hearing loss very quickly. Keep up the good work Leah.

I recently made request per Directive 1134 asking my VA primary care physician to write Nexus letter for Insomnia secondary to my SC tinnitus. He replied, 'I could not find any study that shows that tinnitus leads to insomnia.' I have seen many articles the relationship tinnitus and insomnia as well as VA HLR cases granting veterans insomnia rating. I will have to seek private provider for the Nexus.

Thanks! I've found 30 medical conditions in my service records that contribute to the onset of OSA and never realised that I completely overlooked anxiety, which is also in my active duty medical records. Now I have 31 medical conditions and 13 medications that I took in service that contribute to the onset of OSA from over 40 years ago. (This makes me think of that 99 bottles of beer on the wall song - "You take one down and pass it around."). Even though tinnitus is one of them, it contributes to feeling anxious. The dizziness, or vertigo, headaches and tinnitus definitely makes me more anxious - especially when my walking is already challenged - increasing the risk of falling. Wish me luck in my tinnitus and OSA claims.

I have 10% claim for Tinnitus and wonder if I can get more than that because I'm more impacted? I took ambien for 20 years because I could not sleep. When I turned 60, they said it wasn't safe to take it. Thats when is when I realized one of the reasons (Arthritis too) I couldn't-can't sleep. The ringing is so loud now, I can't sleep in a completely quiet room. Very nice video, thank you.

another fine video. I have a hearing c and p exam feb 8th by a contractor. It comes a year after my first ever hearing test at the VA where the tester seem to want to confine my answer to ringing in the ears. I dont have a lot of ringing but I have lots hissing, like steam leak ever since I had to fire a hand piston and m 16 3 times a year late 60s early 70s. I learned of my hearing loss in 2006 after I sold my business and went for a CDL license and my left ear (i fire left handed) was borderline to pass to drive a school bus. Unlike a lung function test however there is a part of a hearing test that can be construed as subjective. Still waiting for decisions. My non VA lawyer neighbor thinks hey may be having problems with my non combat ptsd of which I had solid evidence of only 2 so far. thanks for your videos, we are grateful

[brianmurrell]

I now have a 10% rating for Tinnitus. I have a suffered from Depression, Anxiety, Sleep Apnea, ADHD, and Insomnia. The VA declined all but Tinnitus so far. I need help. I have used Trajector Medical and am not happy with them.

[RobertHamilton-gc]
