Q253: I am a Vietnam veteran and I saw a lot of combat action in Vietnam. I was around gunfire, tank fire and mortar explosions a lot. The veterans at the VA said my MOS will help me get disability compensation for my tinnitus. I was a door gunner. My question, what MOS’s are more prone to tinnitus?

A2: There isn't really a "list", but for some MOS's it's pretty much a given. For instance many flight line jobs, heavy equipment operators, etc. I was a jet engine mechanic and worked in the hush house - it was a given. (That and the fact I was walking into a building when it took a direct hit....). (KD) 10/1/19
