Sensorineural hearing loss - Acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea Factor

This means any local process causing a sudden decline in the supply of blood to the cochlea and includes ischaemia, emboli and haemorrhage affecting these arteries.

If a veteran or member had an acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea he or she would have experienced a sudden decrease in hearing and would probably have sought medical attention at that time.

Preliminary questions [14412]

14740 there is some evidence that an acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

14580 the veteran has suffered from an acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea at some time.

14581 the veteran has suffered from an acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body at some time.

14582  the veteran suffered from an acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body as a result of an illness or injury which is identifiable.

14583  the veteran has established the causal connection between the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea and VEA service for sensorineural hearing loss.

14590 as a result of the identified illness or injury, the veteran suffered from an acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

14584   the veteran has established the causal connection between the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea and VEA service for the clinical onset of sensorineural hearing loss.

14586  the veteran has established the causal connection between the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea and operational service for the clinical onset of sensorineural hearing loss.

or

14587  the veteran has established the causal connection between the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea and eligible service for the clinical onset of sensorineural hearing loss.

or

7334     the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.

7335     the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

14591 as a result of the identified illness or injury, the veteran suffered from an acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body at the time of the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

14585   the veteran has established the causal connection between the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea and VEA service for the clinical worsening of sensorineural hearing loss.

14588  the veteran has established the causal connection between the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea and operational service for the clinical worsening of sensorineural hearing loss.

or

14589  the veteran has established the causal connection between the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea and eligible service for the clinical worsening of sensorineural hearing loss.

Clinical onset and operational service [14586]

14592  the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [14587]

14593  the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [14588]

14592  the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body, is causally related to operational service.

14594 the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body, is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [14589]

14593  the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body, is causally related to eligible service.

14595 the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the acute vascular lesion involving the arteries supplying the cochlea of side and site of the body, is causally related.
