It's about time...

Absolutely a smart adjustment and in line with the general idea that servicemen and women with service connected injuries requiring treatment should be compensated for loss of quality of life alone, let alone the economic impact connected with long-term continued medical care.

I applaud Senator Akaka for having the courage and caring to help the untold number of veterans who suffered severe hearing loss while in the service but never were awarded any compensation. compensation.
Trent Pavely
Long overdue. Many servicemembers served in ratings that placed them in extremely high noise areas resulting in moderate to profound hearing loss. Unfortunately the present broken system doesn't recognize moderate earing loss as a disability. This is a small token of equity fo those that served honorably and suffered a life affecting disability.
