To determine how much of the maximum six years (600%) of Pell Grant the student uses each year, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) compares the actual amount awarded for the award year with the scheduled award amount for that award year. A student who uses 100% receives the full award.

Interestingly, those who have hearing loss and tinnitus do not seem to suffer the same changes as those with hearing loss alone.
