Here are some of the resources that the VA provides to veterans who suffered hearing loss and how an attorney at Vollor Law Firm, P.A., P.A. may be able to help you further.
Medical Treatment
The VA provides support and medical resources to the 2.6 million veterans who are currently receiving disability for injuries related to hearing loss or tinnitus. Hearing aids are one of the most widely used treatments for veterans with hearing loss. These devices can be used to improve the hearing of those who suffered hearing loss while in service.
Tinnitus is the number-one disability among veterans. Unfortunately, while there is no known cure for this problem right now, the VA’s goal is to help manage symptoms and reduce the negative impact that it can have on veterans’ lives by 1. providing progressive tinnitus management and 2. resources to help with mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Disability Benefits
For soldiers who suffered any form of hearing loss while serving the U.S., the VA provides different forms of benefits in order to assist current and future living while improving the quality of veterans’ lives. Depending on the severity and type of hearing loss that was sustained, veterans may qualify for disability checks or assistance dogs to help them live with the hearing they have left.
