Chronic otitis media

Conductive hearing loss - Chronic otitis media Factor

Last reviewed for CCPS 01 July 1996.

Preliminary questions [15096]

15259 [1] the veteran has suffered from chronic otitis media at some time.

15260 [1] the veteran has suffered from chronic otitis media of side and site of the body at some time.

16717 — chronic otitis media means an inflammatory disease of the mucoperoisteal lining of the eustachian tube, middle ear or mastoid cells, associated with irreversible tissue pathology ; it may be active with continuous suppuration or inactive, attracting ICD cod 381.1, 381.2, 381.3, 381.52, 382.1, 382.2, 382.3 or 383.1. [Default true]

15261 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media, and VEA service for conductive hearing loss.

15262 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media, and VEA service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.

15264 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media, and operational service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.

or

15265 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media, and eligible service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.

or

[2]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.

[3]15087

the veteran's conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body permanently worsened.

15263 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media, and VEA service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.

15266 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media and operational service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.

or

15267 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media and eligible service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.

Clinical onset and operational service [15264]

[4]15268

the veteran suffered from the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media at the time of the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.

15269 — the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media is causally related to operational service. [5] [6]

Clinical onset and eligible service [15265]

[7]15268

the veteran suffered from the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media at the time of the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.

15270 — the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media is causally related to eligible service. [5] [6]

Clinical worsening and operational service [15266]

[8]15271

the veteran suffered from the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media at the time of the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.

15269 — the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media is causally related to operational service. [9] [6]

[10]16614

the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the chronic otitis media of side and site of the body is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [15267]

[11]15271

the veteran suffered from the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media at the time of the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.

15270 — the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media is causally related to eligible service. [9] [6]

[12]16615

the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, a type of chronic otitis media is causally related. [13]
