33063 the veteran has suffered from rupture of the tympanic membrane of side and site of the body at some time.33070 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rupture of the tympanic membrane of the affected side and VEA service for otitis media.
33065 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rupture of the tympanic membrane of the affected side and VEA service for the clinical onset of otitis media.
33064 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rupture of the tympanic membrane of the affected side and operational service for the clinical onset of otitis media.
