The VA gave me an "exam" via Skype, then a pair of $5 K Oticons with a succession of different earpieces.
I heard better without them.
They never offered any help with the tinnitus I have experienced since we provided security for a 175 artillery battery that fired non-stop for over a week.
And that was about the best experience I had with the VA.

Nice!

Bummer. Mine sync with my smart phone so I can turn on white noise to drown the tinnitus.
