Estimate your VA hearing loss rating and monthly payment based on your puretone thresholds and speech discrimination scores.
The VA claims process is about getting the compensation and medical treatment you deserve for the disabilities your service caused. If your VA percentage is inaccurate or unfair, your family is missing out on money, medical devices, and treatment that your service and sacrifice earned.
Use our Free VA Hearing Loss Calculator to see what percentage you should really get. It takes less than five minutes, and you don’t need an email to see your results.
This calculator provides an estimate of your VA hearing disability rating and monthly benefit. Actual ratings awarded by the VA may differ. In rare cases, 38 CFR § 4.86 may apply for exceptional patterns of hearing loss and could result in a higher rating.
Calculated including historical COLA rate adjustments.
The VA’s system for evaluating hearing loss and ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is confusing. It uses tests that don’t look at how your hearing loss affects your daily life. Our tool helps you understand how the VA Appeal Board figures out your percentage, whether you have constant ringing or can’t hear clearly.
Veterans try for a better percentage not just for themselves, but for the people they care about. A correct evaluation means more than just a check; it means:
The VA uses two official lookup tables under 38 CFR § 4.85:
Table VI — Each Ear: Converts your puretone average + speech discrimination score into a Roman numeral (I–XI) for each ear. Higher Roman numeral = worse hearing.
Table VII — Combined Rating: Combines the Roman numerals for both ears into a single disability percentage (0–100%).
In rare cases, exceptional hearing loss patterns may qualify for a higher rating under 38 CFR § 4.86. A VA disability attorney can review your records to determine if this applies.
A tool can help you get ready to ask for benefits, but Berry Law can help fight to secure the money you deserve. If the VA said no to your request or gave you an evaluation that is too low, you don’t necessarily need more facts—you need someone to stand by your side and fight.
