Preliminary questions [15095]

15308

there is some evidence that a permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

15231 the veteran has had a permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal at some time.

15232

the veteran has had a permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body at some time.

15233the veteran has established the causal connection between the permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal, and VEA service for conductive hearing loss.

15234the veteran has established the causal connection between the permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal, and VEA service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.

15236the veteran has established the causal connection between the permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal and operational service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.

or

15237the veteran has established the causal connection between the permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal 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.

15235the veteran has established the causal connection between the permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal, and VEA service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.

15238the veteran has established the causal connection between the permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal and operational service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.

or

15239the veteran has established the causal connection between the permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal and eligible service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.

Clinical onset and operational service [15236]

15240

the veteran had a permanent 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.

15243

a permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.

15244the identified illness or injury that caused a permanent obstruction to the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [15237]

15240

the veteran had a permanent 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.

15243

a permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.

15248the identified illness or injury that caused a permanent obstruction to the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [15238]

15249

the veteran had a permanent 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.

15243

a permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.

15244the identified illness or injury that caused a permanent obstruction to the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is causally related to operational service.

15255

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury that caused the permanent obstruction to side and site of the body is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [15239]

15249

the veteran had a permanent 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.

15243

a permanent obstruction of the external auditory canal of side and site of the body was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.

15248the identified illness or injury that caused a permanent obstruction to the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is causally related to eligible service.

15256

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury that caused a permanent obstruction to the external auditory canal of side and site of the body is causally related.
