Sounds like a trip to the VA for you, here in Columbus it is pretty easy to get an appointment. Was trying to change removable insert and pushed it in instead of getting it out and had an appointment the next day to get it replaced
Good luck brother, sounds(no pun intended) awful.
Best benefit for me is hearing phone on hearing aids, and listening to podcasts while wife watches TV 😉
