My tinnitus was helped by hearing aids which I needed, but refused to admit.
Have had hearing raids for over 40 years now. I have nothing to be of benefit otherwise.
The hearing loss most likely from getting in and out of UH1's with active door gunners in the late 60's.
Doctor said the military should've provided ear protection, I told him it wasn't my ears I was worried about at the time.
FYI, in the past year or so, the VA is giving free hearing aids, and glasses, to veterans who have any level of disability, even if hearing loss has not been diagnosed as service connected.
