I was a jet mechanic in Nam but no service connection
for my hearing,I also worked in industry for many years.
I take 5000 mcg once a day, sometimes more.
Seems to help but even then it flares up from time
to time.
Good luck and thanks for your service.

My tinnitus started two years ago and it was only after some hearing tests that I discovered I also had hearing loss in the upper frequencies. I really had no trouble hearing.
I only went to the VA because the hearing aids offered by the local hearing companies cost a small fortune - some as high as $5K. Eff that.
The VA gave me hearing aids (free) that normally cost $2K ... and a side effect ... because my hearing loss (and T) was attributable to military service, I got a 10% disability - $135 a month.
Given your MOS, I suggest you try the VA. The paperwork was a pain-in-the-@ss, but otherwise, they treated me like a long lost friend. Semper Fi ...
