he proceeds to tell me how I should be bilking the system
You're not alone. I've had tinnitus for 12-15 years, but always very mild.
Everytime I go to a reunion of my VN artillery battery, half the guys are talking about how much they get for PTSD, hearing problems, etc., and trying to get me to sign up. Screw that.

I had tinnitus which I always related to gunfire, explosions...nasty firefights. But it suddenly stopped ringing about a year and a half or so ago. Maybe it’s just getting old, but I’m happy.

Thanks for your service. And “Welcome Home”, if I hadn’t already said it. (Memory problems too. Ha-ha.)
