Just waiting for it to clear at the VA but my advisor says artillery vets usually get that. Plus when I am ready to accept my aging I can get free hearing aids.

Tinnitus is most commonly rated at 10%. It is the most frequent VA disability rating given.
Though your former service’s department may cover the VA rating as well through the CRSC/CRDP programs, if it applies to your status.

VA disability math is weird. I was recently moved from 70% to 100%. Tinnitus May have been an early indicator.
