Is Tinnitus under-appreciated by the Canadian Military?
Written by AudioNotch Team on October 12, 2014
A sad case of a veteran unable to acquire effective treatment for his tinnitus:
The couple has tried desperately to get help for tinnitus, which is treatable.
Back in 2008, Veterans Affairs’ own medical examiner acknowledged that Rainville has tinnitus, and since then, they have been fighting for funding for specialized treatment at a Montreal clinic.
“I did all the steps that they wanted,” Rainville said. It’s still pending. I don’t know what they’re doing.”
Estimates for the treatment shows an initial evaluation would cost $620, but it’s money the family doesn’t have.
