Hmmm. If there had been no tests to confirm hearing loss, then you don’t have hearing loss. That would mean 0% loss at that time to now, with XX% loss.
Claims require a current official diagnosis. Some evidence of it existing during active duty. And then what they call a nexus . . . evidence of connection of current diagnosis to the event on active duty. If you lack any 1 of those 3, you will not have the claim approved.
If you had no exam, you had no diagnosis back then, and therefore 0% hearing loss.
Gotta dot the i’s and cross all the t’s.
That’s circular logic.......................
