VA Rating for Sleep Apnea Secondary to Tinnitus Explained

Are you a veteran struggling with sleep apnea and tinnitus? In this video, Stephanie Costello, a veteran's disability attorney at Berry Law, explains how these conditions are connected and what you need to know about obtaining a VA disability rating for sleep apnea secondary to tinnitus.

Sleep apnea, a disorder marked by interrupted breathing during sleep, and tinnitus, characterized by ringing or other noises in the ears, are conditions that disproportionately affect veterans due to exposure to loud noises during their service. Veterans suffering from tinnitus often experience deteriorated sleep quality and an elevated risk of developing sleep apnea.

Understanding the connection between these two conditions is crucial when pursuing disability benefits. To receive benefits for sleep apnea as secondary to tinnitus, veterans must establish a service connection. This involves securing a formal medical diagnosis for both conditions and proving how sleep apnea is either caused or exacerbated by tinnitus.
