APHL may be age adjusted

    Step 4: Make any necessary age adjustment.

    Calculate the veteran's age (in completed years) at the date of the audiogram being used. For example, a veteran whose 67th birthday fell on the day after the audiogram was performed, was 66 on the date of the audiogram.

    Determine the appropriate adjustment for presbyacusis from Table
