Last reviewed for CCPS 01 July 1996.

Preliminary questions [15098]

15310 there is some evidence that a granuloma invading the middle ear or obstructing the external auditory canal may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

15286 the veteran has suffered from a granuloma that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal at some time.

15287 the veteran has suffered from a granuloma that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body at some time.

16633 — the granuloma that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is due to an illness or injury which is identifiable. [Default true]

15288 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma and VEA service for conductive hearing loss.

15289 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma and VEA service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.

15291 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma and operational service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.

or

15292 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma and eligible service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.

or

15086

the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.

15087

the veteran's conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body permanently worsened.

15290 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma and VEA service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.

15293 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma and operational service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.

or

15294 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma and eligible service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.

Clinical onset and operational service [15291]

15295

the veteran suffered from the granuloma that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body, and which was caused by the identified illness or injury, at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

15297 — the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [15292]

15295

the veteran suffered from the granuloma that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body, and which was caused by the identified illness or injury, at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

15298 — the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [15293]

15296

the veteran suffered from the granuloma that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body, and which was caused by the identified illness or injury, at the time of the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

15297 — the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma is causally related to operational service.

16616

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma invading the middle ear or obstructing the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [15294]

15296

the veteran suffered from the granuloma that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body, and which was caused by the identified illness or injury, at the time of the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

15298 — the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma is causally related to eligible service.

16617

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury which caused the granuloma invading the middle ear or obstructing the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is causally related.
