You are entitled Disability pension. First you must make an appeal to the appellate authority to grant you this stating that you had joined the service in SHAPE-1 Medical Category. The Hon'ble Supreme Court ruling is there and the Armed Forces Tribunal are entertaining such applications and granting releif.

Hi,
It is heartening to note that while you suffered such hearing loss while on duty the medical board is not recognising that. You are requested to project your grievances through proper channel and if you are not heard within 45 days, you may approach AFT.
