Clinical onset and operational service [30584]

30588  the sensorineural hearing loss is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [30585]

30589  the sensorineural hearing loss is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [30586]

30588  the sensorineural hearing loss is causally related to operational service.

30590 the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the sensorineural hearing loss is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [30587]

30589  the sensorineural hearing loss is causally related to eligible service.

30591 the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the sensorineural hearing loss is causally related.
