Been there, guessed that...
65 dB down in the left ear, 55 dB down in the right ear now. With TWO hearing aids...
Sigh...

Retired in 1991. My retirement physical was on a Destroyer Tender in Marseille, France. I was deaf as a post then, but they could not certify any VA disability claims. My retirement date was upon arrival to homeport. They said I could extend and get a "real" physical in Mayport, FL. What did I know? I was a burned out sailor after Desert Storm. I walked off the ship after 26 years of service and never looked back. Zero claims. Am in the process of making VA claims now, have an audiology appointment on 12 February. This'll be a test I won't have to study for.
Yup, right there with you. (With the added bonus of a heft dose of tinnitus, just to make things more interesting!)
