Welcome Veterans

If you received notification in the mail about an appointment scheduled for an exam in our clinic, you’re in the right place!

What to Know

The appointment scheduled is for a hearing test as part of a process to collect evidence for a VA claim for compensation and pension. Even if you are already service connected for your hearing loss and/or tinnitus, this appointment has been made for a specific purpose.

The process set forth by the VA is strict. The evidence is property of the government and you may not receive the test results either in verbal or written form. The information collected is not portable, even to the local VA.

Your VA case has been assigned to a VA vendor, QTC, LHI, or VES which handles the scheduling and processing of your claim. The VA vendors help to expedite your claim through the VA system and ensure the quality of your claim meets the highest standards. This vendor is your point of contact for all questions or concerns about the appointment including scheduling.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

  • Ensure your ears are not blocked with wax. If we cannot perform the exam due to a significant wax blockage, rescheduling will have to occur.
  • Please bring any necessary equipment required to access our clinic. This includes walkers or wheelchairs. We cannot provide this equipment to you at our facility.
  • If you use hearing aids, wear them to the appointment. We must be able to communicate effectively during the appointment. We will remove them for the test and reinsert them afterwards.
  • The appointment scheduled is for evidence collection only. We are unable to make hearing aid adjustments, advise on use of hearing aids, or make treatment recommendations.
