Conductive hearing loss - Neoplasm invading the middle ear or obstructing the external auditory canal Factor
Last reviewed for CCPS 01 July 1996.
Preliminary questions [15097]
15309 there is some evidence that a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear or obstructing the external auditory canal may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
15272 the veteran suffered from a primary or secondary neoplasm that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal at some time.
15273 the veteran suffered from a primary or secondary neoplasm that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body at some time.
16625 — a primary or secondary neoplasm that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is an illness or injury which is identifiable. [Default true]
15274 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear, and VEA service for conductive hearing loss.
15275 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear, and VEA service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.
15277 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear, and operational service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.
or
15278 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear, and eligible service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.
or
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. the veteran's conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body permanently worsened.15276 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear, and VEA service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.
15279 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear, and operational service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.
or
15280 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear, and eligible service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.
Clinical onset and operational service [15277]
the veteran suffered from the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.15283 — the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [15278]
the veteran suffered from the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.15284 — the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [15279]
the veteran suffered from the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body at the time of the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.15283 — the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear is causally related to operational service.
the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [15280]
the veteran suffered from the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body at the time of the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.15284 — the identified illness or injury, a primary or secondary neoplasm invading the middle ear is causally related to eligible service.
the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the neoplasm that invaded the middle ear or caused obstruction to the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is causally related.
