Veterans Hearing Care
Trained at the D.C. VA Medical Center
Veterans hearing care in Glen Burnie, MD is personal here. Dr. Britney Ometz, Au.D. completed her fourth-year clinical rotation at the Washington, D.C. VA Medical Center, and she has handled exit exams for active duty service members and evaluations tied to veterans' compensation and pension claims ever since. She still performs C&P hearing testing today. Working with the veteran community is a part of the job she genuinely enjoys.
How to Get a Hearing Claim Documented
Hearing loss and tinnitus are the two most-claimed service-connected conditions, and both need documented audiometric evidence behind them. Anne Arundel Audiology is a private practice, not a VA facility or Community Care provider, so visits here are billed to your insurance or paid directly. What you get is a full diagnostic evaluation, an audiogram you keep and can take anywhere, and a provider who knows what a rating examiner looks for.

“Dr Ometz had a very welcoming personality to this second time patient. I saw her for the utilization of a new device to remove excess wax from my ears...I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for an audiology evaluation and hearing aid devices if needed.”— Don T., Verified Google Review

Veterans Hearing Care FAQs
What veterans in Anne Arundel County ask most: how service-connected hearing loss gets documented, what a C&P evaluation involves, where the VA fits in, and why tinnitus is so common.
Yes. Veterans come to Anne Arundel Audiology for the same comprehensive diagnostic evaluation every patient receives, performed by an audiologist with VA training behind her. That covers otoscopy, pure-tone and speech audiometry, a tinnitus assessment when it applies, and a full audiogram you keep a copy of.
Dr. Ometz also performs compensation-and-pension hearing evaluations on a contract basis, which is separate work arranged through the requesting party rather than booked through this office. If you are working on a claim and want your hearing documented properly first, call 410-766-6320 and we will sort out which appointment you actually need.
No. Anne Arundel Audiology is not part of the VA Community Care Network, so we cannot bill the VA or dispense VA-issued hearing aids. We would rather state that plainly than let anyone discover it at checkout.
Veterans are seen here as private patients. We accept all major insurances, including Medicaid, Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare, and Cherry and CareCredit payment plans cover whatever a plan leaves behind. If you already wear VA-issued hearing aids, bring them in and we will take a look, though warranty repairs and replacements still have to route back through the VA.
A compensation-and-pension exam, usually shortened to C&P, is the audiometric testing the VA relies on to decide whether hearing loss or tinnitus is service-connected and how it should be rated. It is an evaluation rather than treatment. For hearing, it centers on pure-tone thresholds and the Maryland CNC word recognition test, along with a history of your noise exposure in service.
These exams are ordered through the VA or its contracted examiners, so they cannot be booked directly with our office. Dr. Ometz performs them under contract, which is why she knows what the paperwork requires. Call 410-766-6320 if you want the process explained.
Military noise sits in a different category from civilian noise. Small arms fire, artillery, flight lines, armor, and engine rooms all run well past the level where damage begins, and hearing protection was inconsistent for decades. The harm accumulates and does not reverse, which is why tinnitus and hearing loss sit at the top of the VA's claim list.
Treatment still helps a great deal. Verified hearing aid fittings, many with built-in tinnitus features, along with sound therapy and counseling, give most veterans real relief. We also make custom hearing protection for anyone still spending time around gunfire, whether on a range or at work.
