Can You Win Social Security Disability if You have Hearing Loss

If you are unable to hear because of age related hearing loss, or damage to your ear caused by injury or accident, you can pursue Social Security disability benefits.

2.10 talks about hearing loss in both ears if you do not have a cochlear implant and 2.11 discusses hearing loss if you do have a cochlear implant.

However, you do not need a listing level auditory problem to include hearing loss as a severe and significant impairment.

Hearing loss that does not reach listing level can be part of a functional capacity argument.

Your hearing loss may be part of or associated with another serious medical condition such as meniere’s disease, vestibular dysfunction or even a brain tumor.

From the perspective of a vocational witness, not being able to hear will eliminate entire categories of jobs - for example you would not be a good fit for working around hazardous equipment or moving machinery. You would not be a good fit in jobs that require extensive customer or co-worker communication, or many driving jobs.

Your other medical conditions may eliminate other categories of jobs so that when taken as a whole, your multiple medical issues would eliminate so many categories of jobs that you would not be employable. #deafnessandsocialsecuritydisability #hearinglossandssdi #menieresdisease

Thank you for making these very informative videos. I've spent hours listening and writing information down so when I did contact a lawyer, I knew what to ask and how to explain my limitations. As a matter of fact, my lawyers comment was, 'someone's been doing their homework.' Thank you again. My journey is just beginning.

Loved the information. Graet lay out and straight to the point.

What about tinnitus? It is something that we need to learn to live with or drown out because there is no cure or treatment. It can come on suddenly and last hours if not days or weeks.

I have a profound loss in both ears. Purchased the latest technology in hearing aids to match my disability and it just amplifies noise and not word recognition. I have a terrible time understanding people (unless they talk very slowly and clearly where I can read their lips). Most voices just sound like muffled noise. I only scored 4 words out of 20 in my Word Recognition Test by my hearing doctor. I've had hearing loss all my life and it has been getting worse over the course of a year. I'm 52. Could I get approved for disability?

You didn’t mention Tinnitus with a hearing loss. Also if already disabled from Tinnitus with VA would this transfer to disability with SSDI? Thanks in advance…

Hi Jonathan. I emailed you and was hoping to speak with you via telephone. I’m a 40 yr old male with Fibromyalgia & CFS and I won my case. I wanted to tell you some of the objective tests I’ve had done and some strategies I used to help win my case. Let me know if you’d be willing to speak with me for a few mins. It’s my way of giving back for all the great info you’ve given us through your videos.

Hello! QUESTION for you Jonathan.. How do they do the hearing when the person cant hear well enough on the phone? What if you are profoundly deaf and can not talk on the phone, because he cannot hear well enough. ( There are additional medical factors for the case) but curious what they do for those individuals for the hearing. Great videos Jonathan ! thank you for putting this out
