4,784 vetted Board decisions in 2011.
The Board has granted service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability, determined to be related to the Veteran's in-service exposure to noise.
The Veteran's initial claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss was granted, and he is currently receiving a 30 percent rating. The reduction in his evaluation from 60% to zero percent as of August 1, 2006 was upheld due to clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The Board has determined that the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus are at least as likely as not related to his service, granting service connection for these conditions.
The Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for bilateral hearing loss was denied as there is no objective medical evidence of current bilateral hearing loss. The Veteran failed to appear for a scheduled VA examination without providing good cause.
