My father, a Vietnam vet, has been 100% service connected disabled since 1996 for hearing loss in one ear attributed to his position as a gunner on a tank. He isn’t deaf and has played in country bands for most of his life. I once researched the amounts he’d receive from 1996 to now with near yearly increases. A man that bought his home and paid for it for at $600 in 1974 has received nearly a million dollars since 96.
Per VA regs and compensation charts, unilateral hearing loss maxes out at 30%. A 100% rating requires bilateral total deafness or additional factors (like other combined conditions or unemployability).
